It is during the songs and dances of the teachers and students that Madame Audrey Azoulay was received at the Lycée de la Révolution, where she participated in the swelling of the colors before continuing with the inauguration of the Home Television School (EADTV), a web channel presented by Anatole Collinet Makosso, Minister for Primary and Secondary Education.
“As a hosting and broadcasting platform, this channel uses social networks to broadcast audiovisual courses, but also documents, programs and information of an educational nature. The technical platform includes a studio for live broadcast and a set for delayed broadcast, ”said Collinet Makosso.
UNESCO’s patron welcomed this initiative taken during this period marked by coronavirus. However, some students, especially from the hinterland, have difficulty accessing this web TV; Congo has low internet penetration; but the country is not alone on the list according to Audrey Azoulay. “The Internet, more than one in two children in the world, does not have access to it. We can not only limit ourselves to distance learning via the Internet, ”she emphasized.
Right after her visit, she crossed the river to Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
