Education as a Social System: Present and Future
Challenges
Education is usually considered as one of the most important social institutions. Since it
builds the present and the future of each and every society, all the other institutions
such as, family, politics, health, religion and economics would be meaningless and
incomplete without it. As being the foremost instrument and power for creating the
preferred and desired future, it is anticipated that this power should be able to raise
better generations to bring the desired dreams to come true. Hence, each society has
its own changing socio – cultural / economic needs and requires an education to meet
these needs. These needs should be met both deliberately and cautiously since they will
shape both the present and the future of the society. This article aims to highlight the
relationship between the education and the social system and point out some critical
issues and challenges.
Education and Social System Relationship
When confronted with any kind of societal problem, education is usually seen one of the
primary instruments to contribute to the solution all over the world. Therefore, many
educational reforms, changes and innovation initiatives are prepared, introduced and
implemented in almost every country. Each and every society has its own changing
socio – cultural/economic needs and requires an education to meet these needs. These
needs should be met both deliberately and cautiously since they will shape both the
present and the future of the society. It is clear that society would be in a state of
complete turmoil without a quality education. As a consequence, the quality of
education that a society's members receive influences the quality of the society in which
they live. We generally forget that the education system is much broader than the
simple school system. It includes the best efforts of families, religious institutions,
preschools, sport leagues, service groups, educators, media, etc. If the purpose of
schooling is to help the next generation of citizens into being, then all of the other
institutions should have a role to play. And keeping all these players informed and
active should be the purpose of our multiple accountability systems. Education systems,
mainly formal, from pre-school to higher education face social, cultural, environmental,
technical, and political challenges, as well as other developments at both local and
global level.
