EDUCATION SYSTEM

1.1 Introduction:
The word "education system" typically refers to public schooling, not private schools, and more
frequently to K–12 curriculum. The smallest recognized "education system" is often a school or school
district, whereas countries are the largest. States are thought of as having educational system. Simply
described, an education system includes everything done at the local, state, and federal levels to educate
kids in public schools:

 Laws, policies, and regulations

 Books, computers, teaching resources, and other learning materials

 Human resources, staffing, contracts, compensation, and employee benefits

 Public funding, resource allocations, and procedures for determining funding levels

 State and district administrative offices, school facilities, and transportation vehicles

Despite how frequently and broadly the word "education system" is used in news media and
public discourse, it can be challenging to understand exactly what is meant when it is used
without qualification, specific instances, or extra explanation.

Education systems are by their very nature exceedingly complicated and multifaceted, and the
difficulties involved in reforming or enhancing them can be just as complex and multifaceted.
This is analogous to the teaching profession. Even reforms that seem to be easy, simple, or
readily accomplished may call for difficult governmental policy changes, labor contract
negotiations, altered school schedules, or a host of other factors.

1.2 Aspects of Education:


We may now list a few sociological facts of schooling.

 Learning is a creative process. Man responds to stimuli by acting in a novel way. To put it
another way, learning is a creative process for the learner.
 There are two types of education:
 Formal Education
 Informal Education

The first acts as a mechanism for learning and for consolidating prior learning throughout one's
life.

 Formal education is a socially designed strategy, a highly complex method for generating
learning environments for students. People only receive formal education for a brief time
in their lives.
 Education is a means of preparing for life as well as a means of living it (in the network
of social interactions, both inside and outside the classroom). The ability to earn a living,
the ability to appreciate one's cultural heritage and inner resources, and the ability to
contribute effectively and positively to society as a citizen of the State are all aspects of
life preparation.
 Education entails mastering:
 The learning tools, such as reading, writing, and math.
 Our relationships with ourselves, neighbors, and the universe.
 There are two ways to interpret education: in a "narrow" meaning and a "broader"
sense.
 When seen narrowly, education is a planned, coordinated, and
structured activity. It is taught in a certain setting and at a specific
time. It has a structured curriculum as well. Education is more than
just going to school or being a teacher.

 In a broader sense, education is utilized to educate people about all the


traits that will allow them to function in society. Throughout his entire
life, the youngster keeps rebuilding his experiences. Instruction comes to
an end in the classroom, but education only lasts until death.

1.3 Social Functions of Education:


In modern culture, education is a crucial social institution. Within and outside of the
educational system, education serves a variety of purposes. It serves the purpose of preparing
the person for a range of social roles and personality development. It plays a significant role in
society's control systems as well. From the ancient simple culture to the contemporary
sophisticated industrial society, education is a requirement.

1.3.1 Socialization:
The most crucial role of education is socialization, which involves exposing children to the
culture they will encounter as they grow up. Since people don't naturally understand their own
culture, they must be taught about it as well as how it operates. To prepare people for their adult
roles in society, society consequently offers an intentional teaching programmed to instill values,
conventions, and social skills. To carry out specific tasks in achieving this broad goal, society
forms educational institutions like schools and colleges. In addition to teaching the kids how to
read, write, and do math, school also exposes them to social standards and values that go beyond
what they can learn in the family and other social organizations.

Through school and college, students gain academic knowledge that they will need in the future.
Some of this knowledge will be practical or technical, preparing them for various jobs. Schools
and colleges instill societal ideals and conventions in students at the same time.

Even while people learn a lot from their parents, friends, and clubs, the school system is where
they learn the most about the culture of their community. For the young are exposed to social
norms and values outside of those that can be learned in the family and other social groups at
educational institutions. Books about history frequently adopt an ethnocentric perspective and
promote nationalistic beliefs.

According to Dewey, education allows children to nurture social virtues, improve social
thinking, and become more socially adept. He refers to social efficiency as "socialization of the
individual," and when he talks about social efficiency, he also means economic and cultural
efficiency.

1.3.2. Development of Personality:


When it comes to personality formation, education is crucial. According to Durkheim, the goal
of education is to

"Awaken and develop in the child those physical, intellectual, and moral states that are required
of him both by his society as a whole and by the milieu for which he is specially designed."
A person's physical, mental, and emotional makeup, as well as his temperament and character,
can all be developed with the aid of education. The child's interactions with others are where the
self, the core of personality, emerges. As a result, the educational process shapes a person's
habits, traits, attitudes, and ideals. When a learner is encouraged to create his own attitudes and
ideals by studying notable figures in history and literature, this indirectly develops the learner's
personality. Additionally, a learner is influenced by the perspectives and behaviors of both
teachers and other pupils.

1.2.3. Social Control:


By passing down a way of life and sharing ideas and values with the next generation, education
plays a crucial role in regulating human behavior. According to Bottomer:

"The early socialization of the child" is one way that schooling influences societal norms of
behavior. All societies create educational institutions to prepare their future generations to pass
on their social history and continue to exist as social orders. To keep society functioning, the
young must be consciously prepared for their adult tasks. Through the process of education,
society controls how its members behave and enforces adherence to its standards.

According to Bottomer,

"Education in a broad sense, from infancy to adulthood, is thus a vital means of social control."

In contemporary civilizations, formal education spreads concepts and ideals that help control
behavior. The social norms are taught to the younger generations, and they are warned that
breaking them could result in punishment.

1.3.4. Social Integration:


The curriculum of the school, its "extra-curricular" activities, and the informal relationship
between students and teachers communicate certain values and social skills such as cooperation
or team-spirit, obedience, and fair play. Education, by imparting values, also integrates people
into a larger society.

1.3.5. Determination of Status:


Education plays a significant role in determining a person's standing. From the lowest working class to
the upper class, education leads to economic potential, hence education level is a useful indication of
socioeconomic status. Young individuals acquire higher status occupations than their parents thanks to
their schooling. They start to associate with people of higher status as their wealth increases. Therefore,
education offers a route to a better socioeconomic situation.

1.3.6. Provides Route for Social Mobility:


The assignment of people to social statuses and social mobility is increasingly based on
educational qualifications. Due to educational attainment, there has been a continual transition
between statuses. An industrial culture, such as the United States or Great Britain, places an
increasing focus on obtaining educational credentials that demonstrate a person has gained the
necessary abilities for a job in addition to the skills they have learned in elementary, secondary,
and higher school. The expectation is that the educational system will enable social and
economic mobility by identifying and preparing the most intelligent and hardworking young
people for positions of greater social standing.

In the educational system, people with better skills and training are given higher jobs, while
those with worse skills and training are given lower posts. Education thus tends to produce
vertical social mobility by boosting an individual's earning potential and training them for
occupations with greater status than their parents'.

The educational system tends to establish and sustain a significant divide between the elites and
the masses, between schooling for intellectual and manual jobs, whether in industrial
civilizations or in emerging societies like India. The system of social stratification and mobility
is intimately related to this divergence within the educational system.

1.3.7. Social Development:


Education imparts skills and values that have a direct impact on how the economy and the labor
market function. People receive training in the skills that the economy needs. The output of
skilled workers in a modern planned economy must be intentionally aligned with the societal
economic and social priorities. That explains why education is so important for the
advancement of society. For instance, literacy promotes social and economic development,
which is why all emerging nations have implemented extensive literacy initiatives.
