Manga Education program has been introduced to enhance the manga-style sketching skills of pupils

The Manga Education programme was started by the Ministries of Culture and Education to create comics for students in government, private, and international schools who are enrolled in the intermediate and secondary levels of public education.

This is a component of the after-school activities carried out remotely using the Madrasati platform. Ten instructional episodes make up the programme, whose material was developed by specialists from renowned Japanese institutions in accordance with best prpracticesnd in line with international standards. The purpose of this is to enhance the manga-style sketching skills of both male and female pupils. Additionally, it gives them the abilities they need to comprehend the fundamentals of creating comics, including the ability to write, illustrate, and plan events.

Manga is a type of Japanese literature that includes illustrated comic books, graphic novels, and cartoons. One of the Japanese art genres that uses cartoon illustrations, comic comics, and graphic novels is known as manga. It varies from graphic novels or what are often referred to as American comic books in a number of ways. Manga differs in a variety of ways from non-Japanese cartoons, comic books, and novels. To begin with, manga is written from front to back, right to left. As a result, the opening page of a manga would be the last page of a book or comic published in the West.

The manga programme is a development of the already-existing collaboration between the two ministries and is part of the initiative to launch the strategy for fostering cultural capacities by integrating the arts and culture into public education. This is founded on the principle of civilised cross-cultural dialogue, encouraging aesthetic and creative qualities in comic book illustrations, and inspiring students to invent and develop to generate comics with a cultural and patriotic identity.
