Education plays a key role in driving social change in several ways. It perpetuates values, promotes openness to change, and transmits culture to new generations. Education also increases knowledge, spreads information, and creates good leaders who can help establish equality, build understanding, and bring awareness to social issues. Schools in particular help train citizens and channel thoughts in a way that can stabilize democratic values and control social change in a constructive manner.
