Language is least of the problem

THE recent launch of DidikTV Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia is a significant milestone for teachers and students in Malaysia especially during this pandemic. While children/students living in towns or cities and/or those from middle class families are less affected due to their access to Internet, data connectivity and digital products like smart mobile phones, tablets and laptops, those in rural areas or the B40 group are greatly disadvantaged as their parents would not have the means or capabilities to provide the same to them. As such, DidikTV allows these groups of children and students to learn via television, which in general is more accessible to them.

As this is a new project and the teachers might not have been properly trained for teaching or appearing on television, I salute all those who participated and contributed to this programme.
