  • The role of media in the development of education has been imperative. It has played a significant  part in influencing the underprivileged and the socio-economic backward sections of the society in recognizing the significance of education. Various forms of media such as newspapers, television, radio, internet and so forth have largely contributed in spreading amongst the masses the viewpoint that they should focus upon the development of the basic literacy skills of reading, writing and arithmetic, in order to make their living efficient. The individuals who are not educated and do not recognize its significance experience dire consequences.

    In the development of education, media and technology is not just limited to the classroom setting, it is extensive, it makes provision of equal opportunities
    to learn, and it is so much the part of the real world that to limit its use within the classroom is to limit the ability of the students to compete themselves in the world.

    The main purpose of this write-up is to understand the role of media in the development of education, the main areas that have been taken into account are, the significance of mass media, tools of media, learning with media and technologies, media in development communication, the
    effect of media on motivation and the positive effect of media upon the societies.

    The role of media has been considered important not only in the development of education, but also other areas such as, communication, motivation, social welfare, work opportunities and understanding how to make effective use of technology.

    In the present existence, media contributes an important part in the socialization of young people, a phenomenon which has been attaining an impetus. A large part of the cultural capital of the planet is approved on to them by many kinds of strategies with which they are familiar. This implies a transformation of approach on the part of the various individuals who

    accompany children and adolescents in their development. Such transformations should make

    it possible for them to make this phenomenon apposite by self-education. This is what is to be

    emphasised upon understanding the role of media in the development of education, whose

    purpose is to deal at the same time with the means to educate others to media and to educate

    oneself to media, as part of lifelong learning. It recommends the opportunity of a double approach for the user, sometimes in a learner position, and sometimes in a teacher position

    The media education has become more important in the training of the teachers, the

    teachers working in the field of education should not stop with them. Other areas are associated and must be made profound to the needs of young people, such as caregivers or journalists, producers and broadcasters, and all other media professionals. Taken as a whole the media makes available to the individuals, the possibility of getting familiar with the culture of others, the media culture, the family culture, and the school culture in a spirit of dialogue (Frau-Meigs, 2006). The most fundamental part of the role of media in the
    development of education is that it assists in the recognition of other people’s cultures, attitudes, castes, creeds, ethnicities and socio-economic backgrounds so that they should be able to communicate and work with each other in an operative manner.
