Education as a means of social order

Education serves as a means of social order by transmitting shared knowledge, values, and norms that help individuals understand their roles within society. It promotes understanding and cooperation, fostering stability and cohesion. Schools and educational systems guide behavior, reinforce social expectations, and prepare individuals to participate productively in economic and social life. In this way, education helps maintain societal structure by ensuring that members are aligned with collective goals, reducing conflict, and supporting smooth social functioning.
