Through this partnership, educational television programmes from Deutsche Welle will be beamed on ViCTERS, the educational television channel of the Kerala Education Department. This agreement will allow schools and students in Kerala to access more than 200 hours of Deutsche Welle’s educational television programmes, including the popular educational programme in Germany, Mouse TV, as well as other documentaries and videos covering science, medicine, waste management, workplace safety, water, world cultures and the animal kingdom.
