KNOWLEDGE CHANNEL FOUNDATION GETS AWARD

/ 19 July 2021

KNOWLEDGE Channel Foundation was conferred the Outstanding CSR Project in Education award for its “School at Home” project during the League of Corporate Foundations – Corporate Social Responsibility Guild Awards.

“School at Home” promotes distant learning through Knowledge Channel’s on-air, online, and offline channels.

“KCFI undertook the initiative in response to the difficulties brought to the education sector in 2020, which drastically changed the learning modalities from face-to-face to distance learning, leaving teachers, students, and parents ill-equipped with the pedagogical and technical skills needed in the new normal,” it said.

Edric Calma, Director of Operations, said that the foundation wanted to help the Department of Education and support learners.

“We want to be able to help the Department of Education, our teachers and parents to support the learning of the child,” Calma said.

SKYcable, PCTA partner cable providers Cignal, GSAT, SatLite, and A2Z continue to serve Filpino students, parents, and teachers through “School at Home,” he said.
