Durkheim argued that education serves two main functions: creating social solidarity and teaching specialist skills. It creates social solidarity by transmitting a society's shared culture from one generation to the next. It teaches individuals the specialist skills and knowledge needed to perform their role in the social division of labor. Parsons viewed education as preparing students for meritocratic principles in wider society by judging students based on universal standards and achievement rather than ascription. Davis and Moore argued education "sifts and sorts" students by ability, directing the most able to the most important and highly rewarded social roles.

Week 4 - Discussion 1: Social Institutions
E. Jackson: Peer # 1
Education and the economy are two of the institutions we are discussing, the many societal institutions are related to one another. This means that problems and challenges in one institution tends to create problems and challenges in another institution . For instance, as the Georgetown study suggest, recent problems in the economy have created challenges for those entering the employment market. Delays in securing employment may affect when an individual decides to get married and start a family. New graduates who can't get decent jobs may return to their parents home instead of establishing their own household. For working and lower class students higher education is an unavoidable passageway into middle class (Stevens, Armstrong, & Arum, 2008). Although college is a means of social mobility for some, for many others reproduce inequality. Haveman and Smeeding (2006) and Julian (2012) documented some of the important class differences in higher education.
Bourdieu (1977) argued that children from middle- and upper class backgrounds have a greater amount of social capital and are therefore more successful in school. These kids adjust more easily and more likely to be familiar with the cultural arrangements and social expectation of the school system. Moreover, they are more likely to have extensive educational resources such as technology and books in their homes (Perry & Perry, 2003). Lareau (1987) found that regardless of their social class, and upper class families are better equipped to interact with the teachers and make meaningful connection to the school system.
My personal opinion on how I would change everyone would have the same education meaning there would be no more hand me down books because your labeled as lower class middle class and upper class the lower class got the middle class books and the middle class got the upper class books and the upper class got the new books every class would get the same book at the same time it shouldn't matter what your family incomes is if we are all getting the .

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The role of education
1.
2. Durkheim: Solidarity and Skills
Two main functions of education:
Creating social solidarity
Teaching specialist skills
Social Solidarity:
Durkheim argues that society needs a sense of solidarity;
individual members must feel themselves to be part of a single
'body' or community.
He argues that without social solidarity, social life and
cooperation would be impossible as each individual would
pursue their own selfish desires.
The education system helps to create social solidarity by
transmitting society's culture (shared beliefs) from one
generation to another.
School acts as a 'society in miniature', preparing children for life
in wider society. E.g. both in school and work you are taught to
co operate with people who are not related to you.
3. Specialist Skills:
The cooperation of many different specialists
promotes social solidarity but , for it to be
successful, each person must have the necessary
specialist knowledge and skills to perform their role.
Durkheim argues that education teaches individuals
the specialist knowledge and skills that they need to
play their part in the social division of labour.
4. Parsons: Meritocracy
Meritocracy- The idea that everyone has an equal
opportunity to succeed and where individuals' rewards and
status are achieved by their own efforts rather than
ascribed by their gender, class or ethnic group.
Acts as a bridge between the family and wider society.
The bridge is needed because family and society operate on
different principles, so children need to learn a new way of
living if they are able to cope with the wider world.
Within the family, the child's status is ascribed; particular
rules apply to only that particular child.
By contrast both school and wider society judge us all by
the same universalistic and impersonal standards. Each
pupil is judged against the same standards e.g. they all sit
the same exam.
Likewise in both school and wider society, a person's status
is achieved not ascribed e.g. working hard for a promotion.
Parsons sees school as preparing us to move from the
family to wider society because school and society are both
based on meritocratic principles.
5. Davis and Moore: Role Allocation
Like Parson's, Davis and Moore also see education as a
device for selection and role allocation, but they focus on
the relationship between education and social inequality.
They argue that inequality is necessary so that the most
important roles in society are filled with the most talented
people.
Not everyone is equally talented, so society has to offer
higher rewards for these jobs thus creating competition as
everyone will now compete for these jobs.
Education plays a key part in this process as it acts as a
proving ground for ability.
Education 'sifts and sorts' everyone according to ability.
The most able gain the highest qualifications, which then
gives them entry to the most important and highly
rewarded positions.
6. Evaluation of the Functionalist Perspective
There is evidence that equal opportunities in
education don't exist. E.g. achievement is greatly
influenced by class background rather than ability.
Marxists argue that education in capitalist society only
transmits the ideology of a minority- the ruling class.
The interactionalist, Dennis Wrong argues that
functionalists have an 'over-socialised view' of people
as mere puppets of society. Functionalists wrongly
imply that pupils passively accept all they are taught
and never reject the school's values.
The New Right argue that the state education system
fails to prepare young people adequately for work. This
is because state control of education discourages
efficiency, competition and choice.
7. The New Right favour the marketisation of education as
schools are run like businesses and have to attract consumers
(parents) by competing with each other. Schools provide
consumers with what they want (good exam results) so that
they 'don't go out of business'.
The New Right is similar to Functionalism in many ways e.g.
they believe that people are naturally talented.
However the key difference is that the New Right do not
believe the current education system is achieving these goals.
This is because it is run by the state.
The state take a 'one size fits all' approach. The local
consumers who use the school such as parents, pupils as well
as employers have no say or input in the educational system.
Schools in which waste money or have poor results are not
answerable to their consumers. Which means that pupils
potentially have lower standards of achievement.
8. Chubb and Moe: Consumer choice
Chubb and Moe argue that the American state education has
failed and they make the case for opening it up to market
forces of supply and demand. They make a number of claims:
Disadvantaged groups- The lower classes have been badly
served by the state as it has failed to create equal opportunity.
State education fails to produce pupils needed by the
economy.
Private schools have higher quality education as they are
answerable to those who are paying- the parents.
Chubb and Moe based this on the achievements of 60,000
pupils from low income families in 1,015 state and private
schools and parents' surveys. They found that low-income
families do about 5% better in private schools. Chubb and Moe
call for a market system that would put control in the hands of
the consumers (parents) thus allowing them to meet their own
needs. For this to work Chubb and Moe would propose the end
of guaranteed funding to schools and the introduction of
vouchers given to each family to spend on buying education.
9. Two roles for the State
The state imposes a framework on schools within which they
have to compete e.g. by publishing league tables of exam
results.
The state ensures that schools transmit a shared culture.
Evaluation of the New Right Perspective
Marxists argue that education doesn't impose a shared
national culture, and argues that it imposes the culture of a
dominant minority ruling class.
Gewirtz and Ball argue that competition between schools
benefit the middles class.
Critics would argue that real cause of low educational
standard isn't the state control but social inequality and
adequate funding of state schools.
There is contradiction between the support of new rights
parents choice on one hand and the state imposing a
compulsory national curriculum all its schools on the other.
