Education is concerned with all people and considered as basic social need of all societies. John Dewey viewed that being a social need it performs major functions to the society as follows:

  • Education and society have close association since the inception of society itself.
  • On one hand, education prepares individual to perform different social roles in society, whereas on other hand, society and culture determines the system of socialization and the nature of education to be imparted to the members.
  • Each society, from simple to the complex one, has its own system of educating their young generation and accordingly the institutions are developed.

Hence, the above statement is said by Dewey.
