MP for Kulai, Teo Nie Ching urges the Ministry of Communications and Multimedia\u00a0(KKMM) and the Education Ministry (KPM) to increase the broadcasting time for TV Pendidikan\u00a0on RTM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said that this was to ensure that students who could not afford electronic devices to keep up with online learning would not be left behind in their studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nie Ching referred to results from a survey conducted by the Education Ministry on how ready students were for online learning. It revealed that 36.9% of students did not have suitable electronic devices for doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI hope that KPM and KKMM will take this issue seriously and ensure that RTM increases its broadcasting time for TV Pendidikan as soon as possible,\u201d she said in a press conference at Parliament on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the record, the TV Pendidikan programme by KKMM on the TV Okey channel has only been aired for two hours everyday since April 6 this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commenting further, Nie Ching went on to say that the length of the TV Pendidikan programme aired on RTM is short compared to our neighbouring countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn Indonesia, such a programme is aired for 6 hours daily on mainstream TV channels, while Thailand has up to 15 TV channels just for education alone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To put things in perspective, the Education Ministry has closed down schools from November 9 to the last day of the schooling term on December 18 following the increase of Covid-19 cases in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
