Guyana Learning Channel premieres a new show “The Amazing World of Cho”

The Guyana Learning Channel on Saturday premiered its new show, “The Amazing World of Cho”, to be aired on all the Channel’s platforms.
The premiere took place at the MovieTowne Theatre. It is an animated show produced by the Guyana Learning Channel that features Cho, an eight-year-old mixed-race girl navigating her culture, youth, and family relationships in the small village of St Ignatius, Region Nine.
Set against the backdrop of the small village, Cho’s growth is intertwined with her exploration of the traditions, values, and beliefs of her family as she embarks on a heartfelt quest to understand the world around her, all while crafting her own path. Education Minister Priya Manickchand said the Channel was launched in 2011 under the Presidency of current Vice President, Bharat Jagdeo, whose vision for the Channel was for mass teaching and learning to take place.
“His idea was you could have the best math teacher in Georgetown broadcasting to Mahdia or Lethem or St Ignatius where Cho is from, lessons so that although we couldn’t have the best math teacher in Lethem, we could have the children see and do the work remotely. And the Channel developed and developed,” Minister Manickchand remarked.
She said the Channel has further developed from 2020 as it moved from zero per cent coverage in the hinterland to 85%. She said this was possible because the Ministry gave all the communities television sets, solar panels and satellite technology. She added that before the end of 2023, 100% of the hinterland communities will have access to the Guyana Learning Channel to benefit from all its content.
