Education plays an important social role, especially in modern industrial societies. It serves several key functions:
1. To complete the socialization process and teach values like honesty, fairness, and good citizenship that families may not fully address.
2. To transmit central cultural heritage and beliefs from one generation to the next. Schools aim to systematically teach social norms and traditions.
3. To help form social personalities by properly molding individuals to fit into their culture. This contributes to social integration and stability.
4. To reform wrongly held attitudes in children and remove unfounded beliefs and prejudices. While schools have limitations, they aim to improve students' perspectives.

1. Role of education in society
Education, has a great social importance specially in the modern, complex industrialised
societies. Philosophers of all periods, beginning with ancient stages, devoted to it a great deal of
attention.
Accordingly, various theories regarding its nature and objective have come into being. Let us
now examine some of the significant functions of education.
1. To complete the socialization process.
The main social objective of education is to complete the socialization process. The family gets
the child, but the modern family tends to leave much undone in the socialisation process. The
school and other institutions have come into being in place of family to complete the
socialization process.
Now, the people fell that it is “the school’s business to train the whole child even to the extent of
teaching him honesty, fair play, consideration for others and a sense of right and wrong”.
The school devotes much of its time and energy to the matter such as co-operation, good
citizenship, doing one's duty and upholding the law.
Directly through text books and indirectly through celebration of programmes patriotic
sentiments are intimates and instilled. The nation's past is glorified, its legendary heroes
respected, and its military ventures justified.
(2) To transmit the central heritage :
All societies maintain themselves, by exploitation of a culture. Culture here refers to a set of
beliefs and skills, art, literature, philosophy, religion, music etc., that are not carried through the
mechanism of heredity. They must be learned.
This social heritage (culture) must be transmitted through social organisations. Education has
this function of cultural transmission in all societies. It is Only at the under leaves of the school
that any serious attempt has been, or now is, made to deal with this area.
(3) For the formation of social personality
Individual must have personalities shaped or fashioned in ways that fit into the culture.
Education, everywhere has the function of the formation of social personalities.
Education helps in transmitting culture through proper molding of social personalities. In this
way, it contributes to the integration, to survive and to reproduce themselves.
(4) Reformation of Attitudes :
Education aims at the reformation of attitudes wrongly developed by children already. For
various reasons the child may have absorbed a host of attitudes, beliefs and disbeliefs, loyalties
and prejudices, jealously and hatred etc. these are to be reformed.
It is the function of education to see that unfounded beliefs, illogical prejudices and unreasoned
loyalties are removed from the child's mind, though the school has its own limitations in this
regard, it is expected to continue its efforts in reforming the attitudes of the child.
2. Role of education in society
(5) Education for occupational placement :
An instrument of livelihood. Education has a practical and also it should help the adolescent for
earning his livelihood. Education has come to be today as nothing more than an Instrument of
livelihood. It should enable the student to take out his livelihood.
Education must prepare the student for future occupational positions, the youth should be
enabled to play a productive role in society. Accordingly, great emphasis has been placed on
vocational training.
(6) Conferring of Status :
Conferring of status is one of the most important function of education. The amount of
education one has, is correlated with his class position. This is four in U.S.A., U.S.S.R., Japan,
Germany and some other societies.
Education is related to one's position in the stratification structure in two ways. (1) An
evaluation of one's status is partially decided by what kind of education one has received and (2)
Many of the other important criteria of class position such as occupation, income and style of
life are partially the result of the type and amount of education one has had.
Men who finish college, for example, earn two and a half times as much as those who have a
grammar school education.
(7) Education encourages the spirit of competition :
The school instills co-operative values through civicand patriotic exhortation or advice. Yet the
school’s main emphasis is upon personal competition. For each subject studied the child is
compared with the companies by percentage of marks or rankings.
The teacher admires and praises those who d well and frowns upon those who fail to do well.
The school’s ranking system serves to prepare for a later ranking system. Many of those who are
emotionally disappointed by low ranking in the school are thereby prepared to accept limited
achievement in the larger world outside the school.
Other Functions of Education
Peter Worsley has spoken of a few more functions of education. Some of them may be noted.
Education Trains in skills that are required by the Economy
The relation between the economy and education canbe an exact one. For example the number
and productive capacity of engineering firms are limited by the number of engineers produced
by education.
In planned economy, normally it is planned years in advance to produce a definite number of
doctors, engineers, teachers, technicians, scientists etc. to meet the social and economic needs of
the society.
3. Role of education in society
Fosters Participant Democracy :
Education fosters participant democracy. Participant democracy in any large and complex
society depends on literacy. Literacy allows full participation of the people in democratic
processes and effective voting.
Literacy is a product of education. Educational system has this economic as well as political
significance. Education Imparts values:
The curriculum of the school, its extracurricular activities and the informal relationships
amongst students and teacher communicate social skills and values. Through various activities a
school imparts values such as co-operation or atmospheric, obedience, fair play.
This is also done through curriculum that is through lessons in history literature etc.
Education acts as an integrative force :
Education acts as integrative force in society by communicating value, that unite different
sections of society. The family may fail to provide the child the essential knowledge of the social
skills and values of the wider society.
The school or the educational institutions can help the child to learn new skills and learn to
interact with people of different social backgrounds.
