WHY DO WE HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL?

Functions of Education.

We go to school for :

  • Socialization : Learning to be productive members of society through the passing on of culture. At school, we will learn the rights and wrongs, values and role expectations of the society. 
  • Transmission of culture. Different groups of students are taught different norms, skills, values and knowledge.
  • Social control and personal development. Discipline differs by social class, racial ethnic group and sex.
  • Selecting, training and placement of individuals in society. School promotes social mobility.
  • Change and innovation.
