‘Super-K Teleskwela’

Donna G. Tapnio

KAPAMPANGAN students from Kindergarten to Senior High School are now getting educated through a television program entitled “Super-K Teleskwela”, as the school year 2020-2021 officially opened on Monday, Oct. 5, 2020.

Indeed, television is proving to be an important learning tool to some 337,280 students currently enrolled in public schools in Pampanga.

That is why the Department of Education (DepEd) Pampanga Schools Division, in partnership with the provincial government, came up with the idea to ensure continuing education for students amid a ban on face-to-face learning due to COVID19.

The program, Super-K Teleskwela, provides students with televised modules patterned after Pampanga’s social and cultural background to easily facilitate learning among Grades 3 to 12 students, the DepEd said.

According to the DepEd-Pampanga, what it produced is different from what is produced by the central office for TV station IBC 13. In Super-K Teleskwela, learning materials are contextualized so that students can easily relate.

At the moment, more than 2,000 television episodes funded by the provincial government are being made jointly by 300 teachers from the DepEd Pampanga Schools Division and technical staffers, supervised by the provincial government’s Public Information Office.

The episodes are being aired by regional television network CLTV 36 and can also be viewed on YouTube.
