Knowledge Channel Foundation Strengthens Early Childhood Advocacy with International Partners

Knowledge Channel Foundation Inc. (KCFI) strengthens its advocacy on boosting early childhood development education among Filipino parents and kids by entering a partnership with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and receiving a High Embassy Fund (HEF) Grant from New Zealand.  Knowledge Channel will distribute on-air and online video lessons of “My TV School,” co-developed by USAID and RTI International with the Department of Education for the “Advancing Basic Education in the Philippines (ABC+)” project. It aims to hone K-3 students’ interest and mastery of the four macro literacy skills in English – listening, reading, speaking, and writing. “We thank the Knowledge Channel Foundation, Inc. for taking interest in our initiative to help further promote learning and ensure access to education, particularly for the most vulnerable and marginalized children in the country. We, at USAID, believe that engaging with private foundations like Knowledge Channel Foundation, Inc. can help improve and strengthen the quality of education and further encourage investments in the education sector,” said USAID acting mission director Rebekah Eubanks.  Meanwhile, through the New Zealand HEF Grant, KCFI will be able to train child development workers, teachers, care providers, and parents of children 3 to 4.11 years old [...]
