and Solar Learning.According to DepEd, the curriculum-aligned programs will be carried on Knowledge Channel's broadcast, digital, and offline platforms, supported by Solar Learning's infrastructure.

“These channels span broadcast distribution through cable, direct-to-home satellite, and digital terrestrial television,” the agency said.

DepEd said the program will feature digital learning resources and offline solutions, such as school-based TV packages and portable media libraries, to help teachers integrate video lessons into daily instruction without internet connectivity.

“KCFI will support DepEd in packaging and programming curriculum-aligned episodes for broadcast for school use, including offline deployment options for low connectivity communities,” it added.
