SOCIOLOGY 0F EDUCATION
The sociology of education is the study of how social institutions and individual
experiences affects education and its outcome
The sociology of education is the study of how social institutions and forces affect
educational processes and outcomes, and vice versa. By many, education is
understood to be a means of overcoming handicaps, achieving greater equality and
acquiring wealth and status for all (Sargent 1994)
It gained interest and lot of sociological studies done on the subject. Statistical and
field research across numerous societies showed a persistent link between an
individual's social class and achievement, and suggested that education could only
achieve limited social mobility . Sociological studies showed how schooling
patterns reflected, rather than challenged, class stratification and racial and sexual
discrimination . But sociology of education is a branch of study and very helpful in
finding the relation between sociology and education.
Thus, education is perceived as a place where children can develop according to
their unique needs and potentialities .The purpose of education is to develop every
individual to their full potential.
