other members of family. Even in the formal school system, different roles like
teacher, pupil and parents are members of society and always carry their

The features of unity played significant role in
Indian nation building.
Indian nation building.
1. One political entity: Politically,
almost whole sub-continent was under one kingdom such as Chadra Gupta Murya and
Gupta period in ancient India. Since Mughol Period and British period clearly
marked as one political regime. Therefore, Indian sub-continent from ancient
period to modern period more or less has political unity except few
aberrations.

initiatives reflected throughout the Indian history. The emperor Asoka worked
for unit to India by achieving cultural and religious harmony with non-violence
principles. Mogul emperor Akbar projected the concept of a religion Din-i-illahi, also called a synthesis of Hinduism
and Islam. Above all, we can observe our villages where different religious
groups live together share their lifestyle, joint each other festivals and tied
with one thread of Indianness.

historicity of Indian sub-continent makes it unique cultural tradition. More
than 5000 years old society shows its uniqueness in terms of cultural

and society correlated? Or Discuss the influences of society to education
process.
Answer: School is a part of society, teacher,
learner, and parents are very much drawn from same unequal and stratified society.

objectives and curriculum development.
The Influence of Society to Education Process
(a) Socio- cultural influence: Education of any society has direct correlations with its
socio-cultural factors. The process of education evolved in its social structure,
social norms and values system. School is one such creation of human society to
transfer the existing cultural content from one generation to next generation.
In informal setting, socialization is a process through which community
transact or educate their members about the norms and values of the society.
Traditionally, education provided by religious institutions like Christian
missionaries, Islamic Madarsa, Buddhist monasteries and other religious
organizations. These institutions have the proselytizing feature and they
inculcate their religious ideals. These are not limited established religions,
each community transmit their norms and values. In this process of education
and socialization, we also transmit the biases and differences of our society-
i.e. hierarchy, stratification and inherent inequality.

i.e. hierarchy, stratification and inherent inequality.
(b) Economic aspects: Equality of opportunity is a core value of democracy and
Indian constitutional provision of education. Yet it has become increasingly
clear that equalization of opportunity is exceedingly difficult to achieve in
present economic condition. The economic process creating more and more as well
widening the gap between rich and poor. According to Apple (2004) certain
knowledge has linkages with economic production, areas of studies highly demand
in market situation like professional coursesengineering, medical MCA, MBA and
other applied courses are higher demand in Indian context. Therefore, economy
of society is important factor which has deep rooted implications on
educational development and human development of any region.

(c) Political conditions and its influence: The nature of state, political parties, its ideology and
policy directs the nature of education system and its policy in society.
Democratic states profess ideals of democratic education development; however,
inherent inequality is the weakness of these states. Indian democracy could not
achieve the goal the goal of common school system. All democratic societies
fail to provide education for all, particularly the deprive and marginalized
sections could not have equal access to education owing to differential status.
Contrary to this, socialist states claim for common education system but
inculcate their own political ideology rather secular education. Communist
regime of USSR and Nazi socialist principle of Germany are two best example of
this. In 1933, under Nazi German education system schools were designed to
mould children to get them unquestioningly accepts Nazi doctrines. Similarly,
USSR, after 1917, used education to continue their communist agenda and
educational institutions become the place of political socialization rather the
search of truth.

4 Question: Explain the
linkages between community and school.
linkages between community and school.
Answer: Education has a social context in which it
must be understood. To begin with, this context is observable in the local
community which plays a vital role in understanding and giving direction to the
educational process. In India, the local communities are varied depending upon
nature of habitations that comprise it. The educational needs of different
types of communities vary according to their nature.

types of communities vary according to their nature.
Community composition
The structural composition of community determines
education in many ways. Thus a community with a heterogeneous population with
diverse castes, languages, religions and ethnicity may pose a challenge to
education system in that community or may enrich the system depending on the
mutual relationship and harmony between various population subgroups. The
hierarchical caste or socioeconomic systems may lead to exclusion of lower
caste and poor people from the education system. The attitudes towards minority
ethnic or religious groups may influence the education of these groups. The
language spoken in the community should play a deterministic role in the medium
of instruction in the school.

Occupational and economic factors
Poverty may impede education of many children due to
other competing needs for survival. People may not be able to afford to spend
on education or may prefer to send their children for work instead of school.
other competing needs for survival. People may not be able to afford to spend
on education or may prefer to send their children for work instead of school.
Customs, traditions and belief system
Community traditions and customs based on and
shaping its belief system may affect the education process in the community
children. For example, a community having belief that children are disabled as
a result of punishment by God for their (or their parents) sins in previous
lives, may consider education of disabled children as an interference in “karma
These children and their families may be stigmatized and excluded “ from the
education system. Gender discrimination Community beliefs and practices about
the gender roles may be discriminative against the girls leading to their
exclusion from schools from the very beginning, or early dropout.

Attitudes towards underprivileged and marginalized
groups
groups
The community may have a negative attitudes
disabled, underprivileged and marginalized groups due to their belief system
sand exploitative practices which may hamper in proper participation of these
groups in education process. While the nature of local community determines and
influences, the nature of educational facilities to be provided, the
educational institutions also influence the local community. From the education perspective
we cannot consider school as an island with no link to the outside world i.e.
community. Schools cannot and should not operate as separate entities from the
community. To bridge the huge gap between school and community both should come
closer. For this dialogue is fundamental Dialogue between whom? Dialogue
between community and school. Teacher is the most active agent made this
dialogue possible through school and community interface.. Since each group in
the community plays a different role in contributing to children’s education,
there must be efforts to bridge the gap between them in order to maximize the contributions.
Education takes place most efficiently and effectively when these different
groups of people collaborate. For the betterment of the community.
