FUNCTIONS OF
EDUCATION IN
THE SOCIETY
FUNCTIONS OF EDUCATION IN THE SOCIETY

As British sociologist Herbert Spencer


explains, functions are important to be
performed as they make the society
whole. If each function is working well,
society attains progress.
HE LAYS DOWN THE FUNCTIONS OF
EDUCATION AS FOLLOWS:

1. PRODUCTIVE 2. SELF-
CITIZENRY ACTUALIZATION
Education systems enable
citizens to be productive
members of a society, as they are
PRODUCTIVE
equipped with knowledge and
CITIZENRY skills that could contribute to the
development of their society’s
systems and institutions.
This highlights the
PRODUCTIVE importance of formal and

CITIZENRY non-formal education in


the development of
oneself and the society.
Being a productive citizen
requires critical thinking. One
PRODUCTIVE must have the ability to
understand his or her duties
CITIZENRY
and be able to respond to
them by making decisions.
Education develops one’s sense
of self. As a huge part of the
discovery process of oneself,
SELF-
education encourages having the
ACTUALIZATION vision to become self-actualized.
Moreover, it enables one to see
your strengths and maintain them.
According to Abraham Maslow,
self-actualization is the highest
SELF- form of human need. It was defi ned
as “to become more and more what
ACTUALIZATION
one is, to become everything that
one is capable of becoming.”
1. Physiological needs

These are biological requirements for


human survival, e.g. air, food, drink,
shelter, clothing, warmth, sex, sleep. If
these needs are not satisfied the
human body cannot function optimally.
2. SAFETY NEEDS

Protection from elements,


security, order, law,
stability, freedom from fear.
3.Love and belongingness needs
The need for interpersonal relationships
motivates behaviour Examples include
friendship, intimacy, trust, and acceptance,
receiving and giving affection and love.
Affi liating, being part of a group (family,
friends, work).
4. Esteem needs
Which Maslow classifi ed into two categories: 1)
esteem for oneself (dignity, achievement, mastery,
and independence) and 2) the desire for reputation
or respect from others. Maslow indicated that the
need for respect or reputation is most important
for children and adolescents and precedes real
self- esteem or dignity.
5. Self-actualization needs

Realizing personal potential,


self- fulfillment, seeking personal
growth and peak experiences.
PRIMARY
EDUCATION AS A
HUMAN RIGHT
Primary Education as a Human Right Primary
education is essential in the early stages of
human life. Humans need education to enable
them to adapt to the dictates of their society.
The United Nations Educational Scientific and
Cultural Organization (UNESCO) declare that

PRIMARY EDUCATION AS A HUMAN RIGHT


education is a fundamental human right
and essential for the exercise of all other
human rights. It promotes individual
freedom and empowerment and yields
important development benefits.
