50 years of "SRF my School"

"SRF my School" celebrates its anniversary and presents a colorful special program from Monday to Friday, 10 to 14 November 2014.

On the "SRF my School" website and daily from Monday to Friday, 9.00 to 10.00 a.m., the editorial team on SRF 1 shows archive gems from 50 years of education and knowledge on television. There are also current in-house productions that take a nostalgic look into the past with a wink, but also a visionary look into the future of the next 50 years of "SRF my School".

"SRF my School" offers more than just films that illustrate and supplement lessons, according to a press release issued on Wednesday. In addition to the contributions, teachers also have access to ready-made teaching units and work materials for lessons. The editorial team is guided by the curriculum, but also by topicality and journalistic relevance. With school television, Swiss Radio and Television is implementing the educational mandate enshrined in the SRG SSR concession and the Radio and Television Act (RTVA).

School television has been broadcasting since 1964. Today - 50 years later - it has entered the digital age as "SRF my School". To mark the anniversary, Swiss Radio and Television looks back on the last five decades of education and the transformation from school television to "SRF my School". But it also looks ahead: in 50 years' time, there will probably no longer be any subjects and lesson structures in schools. Individualized and technology-supported lessons as well as cooperative, skills-based learning will be the norm.

In addition, "SRF my School" has put prominent Swiss people who went to school 50 years ago back on the school bench and had them talk about their memoirs. Among them are Chris von Rohr, Anita Fetz and Urs Kilby. And finally, the editorial team of "SRF my School" introduces itself in another feature.
