Citi TV‘s virtual learning show, Class Act on Saturday November 14, 2020 was recognized for its critical role in boosting education in Ghana.
The programme was awarded at the 2020 EDUCOM awards organized by NEOGenics education group.
Organizers say the award was to recognize the station and the programme for “consistently supporting and promoting educational programs with the aim of raising achievement in schools.”
Class Act, teaches students English, Core Mathematics, Integrated Science and ICT, with up to scratch examples.
Tutors begin each session with an aim to expand upon the general knowledge points of each of the Core Subjects in order to enrich the viewer’s learning experience.
The ultimate aim is to bring the high school classroom, right into the homes of viewers, as well as onto their mobile devices.
The programme became even more relevant amidst the COVID-19 outbreak where most students were at home and had to mostly study on their own due to the forced school closures.
Ghana’s Deputy Education Minister, Dr. Yaw Adutwum had described Class Act as a “fantastic” programme.
“Class Act is my favourite one [virtual education on TV] and that is why I want to come on and teach. I want to come and teach Mathematics—exponential equations and things like that. I want to come and teach a class on your network because you are doing a fantastic job. It is something that you started to complement government’s efforts,” Dr. Adutwum who is an educationist said in the interview.
He has since featured on the programme twice as a guest Mathematics teacher.
