Educating the Public with Television

It has always been important to our country that everyone receives an education, so important that it is required by law. The only way to maintain a strong government is to continue teaching the citizens so they are able to continue the success of the country with generations soon pass.
Although Internet is considered the largest source for the media it is not available to all citizens whereas television broadcast can be obtained from a simple television free of charge. The idea is programs would be developed to educate people in the departments of science and civics.
Top scholars in the country would take their knowledge and broadcast it on an educational channel. The information would be important and anyone that wants to further their education could as simple as a click of the button.
There would be no physical attribute of watching these broadcasts. The reward would be the privilege of receiving the knowledge free of charge. The broadcasts will only be beneficial to those citizens that are willing to take advantage of the oppotunity.
PBS is an example of a television broadcast that is already pursuing something similar to this idea. Not only would these programs be delivered to the public but as well as institutions. It can change the way education is received.

I think that having educational programs on the internet is a good idea. So many children are on the computers. This summer our town's new library had so many kids in there all the time. A majority of them were using up all of their daily minutes on the computers. Living in a household with children I know how much time children want to be on the computer.
