Those skills are highly important to survive and succeed in this competitive world. We learn to distinguish between the right and the wrong and as a result, we learn to do the right thing in difficult situations. This is one of the most essential values of education Communication is the key to survival. Today, to be able to read and to write is the most essential form of communication. Proper education or guidance teaches us to read and write. From the ancient times, superstitions have filled the society. Such superstitions have hindered the success of man over the ages. With proper knowledge, superstitions can easily be removed from the society.  VALUE FUNCTION OF EDUCATION Education makes a person open-minded. He/ she then learns to take ideas from others. It makes a person to be more creative Most importantly, it empowers women. When a woman is properly guided, she becomes capable of protecting herself.

Functionalists believe that education bestows status upon the recip­ients Marxist) theorists argue that this bestowal of status causes differences in society. They stress that schools admit pupils according to social  STRATIFICATION FUNCTION Society is, therefore, based on an unequal distribution of advantage It is characterized by a conflict of interests between the advantaged and the disad­vantaged children from lower class who are much less likely to attend the private schools that give better chances for a good career. Although the educational system helps certain poor children to move into middle class profes­sional positions, it denies the most disadvantaged children the same educational opportunities afforded to children of the affluent class. Thus, schools tend to preserve social class inequalities in each new generation. Education creates the conditions for the reproduction of inequality This means that, education helps to justify in people’s minds a system of inequality ECONOMIC FUNCTION SOCIALISATION FUNCTION
