Education, as process of learning, is as old as human society. In modern society, it has acquired the characteristics of a process involving a complex system of social relationships among individuals, and interaction between education and other social institutions. Viewing education from the sociological perspective, the book tries to answer the questions of what education is expected to do in human society, and what (and why) it actually does, or fails to do. It means she study of education in relation to the various societal factors that variously affect and are affected by the social institution of education. It is hoped that students and teachers from the disciplines of education and sociology will find this book useful.
