Some people say that primary reason for watching television is to entertain. However, I strongly think that television should be considered as a role of education. First, people who don't have chance to go to private institutes or log on the online courses due to the cost and lack of time can be well educated with television. Second, watching educational program intead of entertainment on TV allows people to be competitive in modern society.
First of all, educational channels can provide people, especially students with well-organized and high qualified classes.The lives of today's students are extremely burdened with their compulsory academic and exra-curricular activities. When it comes to their improvement, taking school classes is not enough. Some engage in online learning that causes additional costs in order to lag behind their classmates. It is commonplace for students to attempt to get ahead by taking unconventional private lesssons not available at their schools. On top of this condition, television programs that include a vast array of lectures make students to promote their academic achivement. This proves that students have a good opportunity to develop their grades though televisions.
In addition, the abliity to take a good job can be influenced by educational programs not entertainment shows on TV. Nowadays companies in my country have a hard time keeping up with their competitors. As a result, there is a demand for companies to hire exclusively the highest qualified workers. Consequently, only those who are experienced and highly-qualified can land a job and retain it. According to the report conducted by Bain and Company in 2012, the one group who have watched educational programs 4 hours per day for 6 month had more possibility to hire at a good workplace than another group who had been addicted to entertainment show for the same period. This demonstrates tha teduacational TV programs have a crucial effect on people's development to take a better job.
To sum up, I firmly feel that television should be considered as a important role of education not entertainment for the reasons that I mentioned above. First, educational TV programs can provide people, especially students with well-made academic courses. Second, people can have a good ability to get a better job though educational programs on TV.
