P, El Vedado . Its slogan is "Donde siempre se aprende" (Where you always learn) . The channel's mission is to produce television programs that complement study plans within the National Education System and contribute to the cultural enrichment of the general population .

On air, the channel's programming is divided into two main blocks. From approximately 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, the schedule is dedicated to formal education, broadcasting "Teleclases" (teleclasses) primarily for primary and secondary education, though also including technical and pre-university levels . Key segments during this period include "University for All" courses, preparatory classes for university entrance exams, and language courses (primarily English and French) .
