ABSTRACT

The Ministry of Education provided essential content, and UNICEF and Diners Club contributed with funding and assistance, with which IPANC and the team of experts in educational television put learning situations in television formats, aided by actors/presenters. In author's country, right now, education cannot continue without educational television. And the authors are all eager to hug each other again, albeit they want, after this experience, to remember how important educational television is and can be, in the future, to support, reinforce, and universalize education on a truly national level. Many countries of their region, including Ecuador, had its own platforms with digital educational resources; all those countries had to, abruptly, deal with the fact that a good portion of its population did not have internet access at home. That is why educational television started to trend again, which is a positive outcome of a terrible situation, they maintain.
