SUPER-K. The Department of Education (DepEd) Pampanga Schools Division in partnership with the provincial government launched “Super-K Teleskwela”, a TV program that aims to serve at least 337,280 Kapampangan students from kindergarten to senior high school through the educational tv programs co-produced by the Pampanga Provincial Information Office (PIO) and DepEd Pampanga at a local television network.
Super-K Teleskwela is a way through which Governor Dennis “Delta” Pineda wants to ensure continuing education for students amid a ban on face-to-face learning, said Board Member Anthony Joseph Torres, chair of the education committee of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan.
More than 2,000 television episodes are being made jointly by 300 teachers from the Department of Education’s Division of Pampanga and technical staffers supervised by the provincial government’s Public Information Office (PIO)
“This partnership of the provincial government and DepEd including Parents Teachers Associations (PTA) is for our youth,” BM Torres said.
The initial episodes aired on CLTV 36 starting Oct. 5 when the school year 2020-2021 opened. The episodes can also be viewed on YouTube.
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, explained Celia Lacanlale, DepEd Pampanga
Curriculum Implementation Division (CID) chief.
“What we produced is different from what is produced by the central office for [TV station] IBC 13. In Super-K Teleskwela, we made sure that the learning materials are contextualized in Pampanga so that the students can easily relate with,” Lacanlale said.
Aside from funding the equipment, production costs and airtime of Super K-Teleskwela, the provincial government also shouldered the purchase of 74 risograph machines for the printing of modules. —Luisse Rutao/Pampanga PIO
