DidikTV can help solve PdPR issues - PIBGN
15 Feb 2021
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 15 -- The introduction of TV Pendidikan’s special channel known as DidikTV KPM, will to some extent help solve the problems faced in the implementation of home-based teaching and learning (PdPR) classes.
National Parents-Teacher Associations Consultative Council (PIBGN) president Associate Prof Datuk Dr Mohd Ali Hassan said that this included the issue of devices and internet access faced by students, especially in rural areas.
“Although it is a bit slow to implement and should have been done earlier, but in the end it will benefit the people as assistance to PdPR and education as a whole.
“The plan for the Prime Minister to officially launch the channel on the first day of its broadcast also shows a sign that the country is very concerned about education,” he said in a live video call on the ‘Buletin Bernama’, on Bernama TV here today.
He said that with DidikTV KPM, quality education can be achieved by all citizens in this country, without the occurrence of dropouts, especially those living in rural and remote areas.
However, he said that the use of educational television channels as a support medium of learning should not be implemented only when the country is facing a pandemic, but should continue for the long term, similar to foreign countries.
“Once the COVID-19 pandemic has passed, we can make the best use of DidikTV KPM, similar to educational TV channels in the United Kingdom, United States, Germany, Japan and Korea. We should emulate them and take advantage of it as much as possible,” he said.
At the same time, Mohamad Ali also suggested that the government, through the Ministry of Education, to review the relevance of DidikTV KPM to be broadcast until late at night.
“Why is it necessary to broadcast until midnight? I think the children need to rest ... it should be until 10 pm and it is enough.
“At the same time, scheduling needs to be refined and duplication should be avoided by taking into account the problems faced by families with many children who need to study, so it should be taken into account in the timetable,” he said.
DidikTV KPM, which will commence on Feb 17, can be viewed through channel 107 on MYTV, 147 on ASTRO and ntv7 on TV UNIFI, from 7 am to midnight daily.

Lol. Good also lah. Imagine those parents tell their kids to continue watching primary/secondary class lessons from 7am until late night. 😂
Maybe Didik TV can air something else at night. Something that students can relax their mind
Anyhow, sooner or later, I have a feeling that those students and/or teachers will find that this Didik TV channel alone is simply not enough. It doesn't matter who operates it, be it Media Prima or RTM.
As what I see now, Didik TV is like "harassing" RTM TV Okey, NTV7 and Astro Tutor TV channels for putting in Didik TV programming slots, from Primary 1-6 and Secondary Form 1-5 lessons, and even mix with some Form 6 lessons.
Yes I know it's because school can't be fully open and all, but still, the respective channel have to make way for Didik TV, making them unable to resume normal respective programming of the channel, and like it or not, that is a fact.
And it doesn't give the flexibility for viewers to watch the lessons according to preferences of the particular student or teacher. But still,
it is better than nothing.
Imagine if MOE flush in more money, by creating way more number of TV channels according to school year, something like this:
Didik TV Primary 1
Didik TV Primary 2
Didik TV Primary 3
Didik TV Primary 4
Didik TV Primary 5
Didik TV Primary 6
Didik TV Secondary Form 1
Didik TV Secondary Form 2
Didik TV Secondary Form 3
Didik TV Secondary Form 4
Didik TV Secondary Form 5
Didik TV Secondary Form 6
The programming shall be similar like your school class timetable, covering every single subjects and chapters possible. That way, it will be sufficient and flexible for everyone.
Yes, it is a crazy yet the best idea to be implemented. 12 TV channels 🤣 It's crazy because this requires government to throw in more money.
Perhaps, government / MOE might as well rent a whole new mux from MYTV Broadcasting solely for this purpose. And that will be very helpful especially those very rural students who still lack of Internet access even many years later.
Is there an example of other country doing this? Yes! The answer is
Thailand.
They call it
DLTV (abbreviation for
Distant
Learning Tele
vision), and it has a total of 15 TV channels. It is available FTA via Thaicom 6 satellite (Ku band) or Internet streaming.
