 "Lockdown: Students can watch Netflix documentaries, series free on YouTube")
In order to help teachers and students learn and share knowledge while being at home during the coronavirus lockdown, Netflix is making several of its documentaries and shows freely available on its YouTube channel.
"For many years, Netflix has allowed teachers to screen documentaries in their classrooms. However, this isn't possible with schools closed. So at their request, we have made a selection of our documentary features and series available on the Netflix US YouTube channel," the streaming platorm said in a statement.
“Each title also has educational resources available, which can be used by both students and teachers,” it said, adding the company will be doing Q&As with some of the creators behind the projects so that students can hear from them firsthand.
