DEO gets nod to telecast programmes for students
Tribune News Service
Amritsar, April 22
The Education Department has asked the district education office to go ahead with its plan to telecast syllabus-specific TV programmes for students of Classes VII and VIII during the lockdown.
Channels
- Swayam Prabha: channel No. 20
- DD Free Dish : 117
- DishTV: 939
- Swayam Prabha 20 on Jio TV app.
According to the orders issued by the Secretary, Punjab School Education, the programmes will be telecast between 9 am and 11am and 4pm and 6pm on DTH and Doordarshan.
District Education Officer Rekha Mahajan said: “Though only Classes VII and VIII have been included, efforts are on to have more channels and add more classes under this programme. This has been done to facilitate studies of students hailing from rural and border areas as digital classes were not quite successful in these areas due to poor connectivity and network limitations.”
Apart from this, online classes and televised learning programmes for other students will continue as per the schedule.
Besides, the Punjab Education Department has also roped in some radio channels for radio classroom programmes. The channels include FM radio 100.2, Doaba Radio, Chann Pardeshi and AIR frequencies for several cities.
