BeLit is short for Better Literacy. The TV Channel will Broadcast the Education Department’s EQUITV science and mathematics series for students in Grades 6, 7 and 8. It will also broadcast a youth based TV Talkshow called YouthTok produced by The Voice Inc.
The channel will air on TVWAN for three hours daily from9am to 12pm and will become a 24hour TV Channel early next year.
“Where there is a school there is a teacher but in the case where there is no teacher present the next best option is the Education channel and this can play a role in ensuring there is some contact with students. We thank Digicel Foundation for an initiative that means a lot to every child and every family. When you touch education you touch the heart of every Papua New Guinean,” Secretary for Education, Dr. Uke Kombra.
