Nenasa TV expands to 2,000 schools

 

Nenasa TV, the satellite based television channel developed to bridge the education gap between urban and rural Sri Lanka is expanding its reach to connect another 1,000 schools into the programme with the aim of making education accessible to all.

Accordingly, the new MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) to expand Dialog Nenasa TV was signed between Dialog Axiata Group Chief Executive Dr. Hans Wijayasuriya and Education Minister Bandula Gunawardena.

The Nenasa programme was developed under the Mahinda Chinthanaya education plan to address the disparity of access to knowledge between urban and rural Sri Lanka through ICT (Information Communication Technology).

The state of the art satellite based distance education programme is operated by the Ministry of Education, while a high quality telecast edition of the national education curriculum for Ordinary Level and Advance Level students is developed by the National Institute of Education (NIE).

The education syllabus is available in Sinhala and Tamil.
