Submitted Wednesday, 6 April, 2011 - 16:16
UNESCO recently announced the launch of Iraqi Educational TV. This service is available on Nile-Sat, a regional satellite service.
UNESCO’s Iraq office has played a pivotal role in the creation of Iraqi Educational TV by designing quality distance learning tools and developing The School Curricula Website. The website consists of digitalized textbooks, educational TV lessons and interactive web-based lessons. Designed to serve Iraqi students primarily, the broadcasts and website could also be used in other countries to serve students unable to attend school, Internally Displaced Peoples, refugees, home-based lessons for women, and people with special needs. More information is available from UNESCO.
