British school children in lockdown get hours of free TV education

By ITS Education Asia

Sarah Mills for Reuters reports that the BBC launched its new educational offering on Monday. British school-aged children will have free access to hours of curriculum-based learning on television every day.

Katie Thistleton, who presents BBC Bitesize Daily Secondary, an hourly show for children aged 11 and over that was made last year in response to the pandemic, said the aim is to make her show and others available to a wide audience.

The Bitesize Daily shows for primary and secondary school level are broken into 20 minute sections that work for different ages and both include “real teachers” delivering “mini lessons.”
