THE Government is set to launch an education television channel in line with the new education curriculum.

This comes as the country is implementing the digitalisation programme which we see an increase in the number of television stations countrywide.

The Minister of Primary and Secondary Education Dr Lazarus Dokora last Friday said the channel will be a platform to tell the Zimbabwean story. Dr Dokora said his Ministry was ready to support content producers.

He said presently children were being bombarded with television content with storylines that they cannot relate to.

He said already there are publishers who are ready to take up the challenge to create content that takes into account the country’s heritage. Dr Dokora said some people were still suffering from an inferiority complex and do not believe that local publishers can tell the local narrative.
