Previously, Nguyen Nhat Hoa, head of the educational programmes producing centre, said this was, indeed, a special educational channel.

"We bring inspiring facts into all the programmes we produce, so that students will learn from our channel. But they must first develop an interest in subjects and study on their own," Hoa said.
