MUMBAI: Germany's international broadcaster Deutsche Welle (DW) has signed an agreement with India's first dedicated educational channel setup on Edusat, IT@School-Victers.

The agreement will offer schools and students across the country an opportunity to access more than 200 hours of Deutsche Welle's educational television programmes. These include Mouse TV along with other documentaries and videos covering science, medicine, waste management, workplace safety, water, world cultures and the animal kingdom.

Deutsche Welle head - distribution Asia/Australia Angelika Newel says, "This new partnership offers Deutsche Welle a great platform to reach out to students in schools in India. We are confident that our brand of edutainment will be a hit with both students and teachers."

Adds IT@School- Victers executive director Anvar Sadath, "This association between DW and Victers would provide students in Kerala with the opportunity to see and understand advanced educational video content of international standards which would enable them to think beyond the box to analyse what they learn at school."
