2. Manifest Functions of Education
The manifest functions of education
are the open and intended goals or
consequences of activities within an
organization or institution.
3. There Are Six Major Manifest Functions Of
Education In Society
4. 1. Socialization
From kindergarten through college,
schools teach students the student role,
specific academic subjects, and political
socialization.
5. In the primary and secondary schools, students
are taught specific subject matter appropriate to
their age, skill level and previous education
experience.
In the college level, students focus on
more detailed knowledge of subjects.
6. 2. Social Control
Schools are responsible for teaching values such
as discipline, respect, obedience, punctuality and
perseverance.
Schools teach conformity by encouraging young
people to be good students, conscientious, future
workers, and low-abiding citizens.
7. 3. Social Placement
Schools are responsible for identifying
the most qualified people to fill
available positions in society.
8. 4. Transmitting Culture
As a social institution, education performs a
rather conservable function – transmitting the
dominant culture.
We learn respect for social control and
reverence for established institutions such as
religion, the family, and the government.
9. 5. Promoting Social and Political Integration
By transforming its population composed of diverse
ethnic and religious groups into a society
whose members share – to some extent at
least – a common identity.
10. 6. Agent of Change
Education can stimulate or bring about desired
social change.
It promotes social change by serving as
meeting ground where each society’s distinctive
beliefs and traditions can be shared.
11. Latent Functions of Education
The hidden, unstated and sometimes unintended
consequences
of activities within an organization or institution.
12. 1. Restricting Some Activities
In our society there are laws that require children
to attend school or complete a primary and
secondary education.
Keep students off the street and out of the full-
time job market for a number of years, by helping
keep unemployment within reasonable bounds.
13. 2. Matchmaking and Production of Social
Networks
Because school brings together people of similar
ages, social class, and race, young people,
they often meet future marriage partners and
develop social networks that may last for
many years.
14. 3.Creation of Generation Gap
Students may learn information in school that
contradicts beliefs held by their parents or their
religion.
A generation gap is created when education
conflicts with parental attitudes and beliefs.
