KCFI reaches and teaches more using culture-based approaches for more meaningful learningFor this February’s National Arts Month celebration, Knowledge Channel Foundation Inc. (KCFI) is one with the National Commission for Culture and the Arts in realizing this year’s theme, “Ani ng Sining, Bayang Malikhain.”

KCFI continues to produce educational video lessons which not only help develop fundamental competencies in young learners, but also showcase and harness our culture, traditions and art for better and more meaningful learning.

Through shows like “Musikantahan,” “Kwentoons,” “Kwentong Pambata,” “Wikaharian” and “Wow,” among many others, KCFI helps educators teach using a culture-based approach and engages learners with videos whose contexts and delivery are most familiar to them.

KCFI fosters partnerships to make its key interventions available. This month, there are partnerships for video lesson development projects with BPI Foundation for financial literacy for junior to senior high school, and with BDO Foundation and Huawei Philippines for basic numeracy for Grade 1 learners.

KCFI president and executive director Rina Lopez turned over a Knowledge Channel TV (KC TV) and a Knowledge Channel Portable Media Library (KC PML) to White Cross Orphanage to celebrate the legacy of the late Connie Rufino Lopez, who had supported the orphanage for 38 years.

KCFI participated in the International Day of Education and Early Grade Learning Coalition, sharing its best practices centered on the theme “Transforming Education in the 21st Century: Early Grade Learning Public-Private Partnerships.”

It also provided access to more schools and learners through the KC TV and KC PML in Bataan, Cebu, Laguna and Rizal, thanks to its partners: Rotary Club of Makati West, Aboitiz Foundation, GNPower Dinginin Ltd. Co. and Morong High School Alumni Association-Southern California chapter.
