Educating the human resources is a key factor in the process of development. Educated

labour force will certainly have a better performance and this will obviously benefit thedomestic economy. One of the most crucial tasks of the media (television in particular) that

exerts a dramatic influence over the societys development process is educating people andpromoting their knowledge; a task that is carried out either directly or indirectly. The direct(explicit) education is a voluntary practice with obvious manifestations in the behaviour andperformance of the individuals. What can be taught through this method is:

The technical expertise: this involves less manual jobs. For example, business marketing,

etc. and

The educational courses: new training techniques have largely facilitated the process of

education. The media, through distance and/or correspondence education, is graduallytaking the place of teachers or is acting as an aid to them.
