Learning is a fundamental aspect of civilization that has been since the beginning

of time and will exist until the end of humanity. The oldest hunting and gathering
tribes used learning as a survival skill to obtain food, build fires, and locate new
places to live. Learning primarily takes the form of education in today's
increasingly industrialized and informational cultures. Education is described as "a
structured system of teaching knowledge, values, and skills to a group of people"
(Henslin). Topics like reading, writing, addition, and subtracting are just a few of
the numerous things that kids are taught in the classroom by their teachers and
textbooks. The latent purposes of the educational system, which are more difficult
to discern, are unintended. The family is the first group to which a person is
exposed when they are born, and it is crucial for teaching children early on who
they are and what they should be like. The next step for some kids may be to enroll
in a daycare, where they can meet more people and be exposed to different ways of
thinking and perspectives on life. Since children are so young when they enter
daycare, they barely process the world around them, and their thoughts barely, if at
all, change. When kids are old enough to enroll in school and start receiving a
formal education, It's crucial to consider the function of schools in society while
figuring out how to focus all of the world's information. Schools fulfill the function
of passing on knowledge so that students have a fundamental comprehension of the
knowledge and abilities they require. But education plays a much bigger part than
merely imparting fundamental knowledge. Learning about various topics, getting
ready for college or a job, and enhancing one's cultural awareness are just a few of
the roles of education that are always changing to meet the requirements of society.
These purposes, which are sometimes overt and regarded as manifest purposes, are
intended by teachers and schools and are included in the curriculum. Other times,
the actions are deemed to be latent functions because they were not intended.
Students pick up social norms and expectations from their professors and peers
through socialization. Schools are designed to emphasize certain principles, and it
is the instructors and staff who uphold these standards for children. Students are
frequently rewarded (with sticker systems, pizza parties, or even the lack of
penalty) or punished (to encourage them to understand these social norms and
rules) (with a call home, detention, or withholding privileges). By interacting with
classmates, students can also learn these guidelines and expectations. Cultural
transmission helps to uphold and reinforce cultural norms and values. Regardless
of one's own cultural heritage. Schools are viewed as a means of assisting students
in achieving their career objectives. Students are expected to enter the workforce
immediately after high school graduation or attend college to advance their careers.
Students frequently have the option to select electives to learn more deeply about a
certain topic. By assisting students in choosing their careers, we can ensure their
future success in that industry. Education is a component of socialization that
includes information acquisition and the development of skills. Through a
methodical formal transmission, it molds our moral principles and philosophical
views. It is believed that education plays a crucial role in society since it
contributes to the upkeep and adaptation of society and its values. Despite the fact
that this system has received a lot of criticism since it was first implemented, a
number of factors imply and suggest that despite being less polarizing than the
tripartite system, the comprehensive system still does little to promote social
equality and, if anything, serves to reinforce class inequality.
