Functions of Education in Society
Effects of Education in Society
➢ Self-actualization
➢ Productive Citizenry
Lifelong learning or education may lead a learner to attain
self-actualization. Self- actualization, in Abraham
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, is considered as the highest
level of human need. It is becoming everything that one is
capable of. Self-actualization is manifested when individuals experience real and passionate joy and
wonder. Following these experiences of joy and wonder, people become exposed to inspiration, power, or
transformation.
➢ Self-actualization
Education helps society produce informed, responsible, and capable citizens. Productive citizens are those
who work and maximize their potential and skills. They are those who contribute to the realization of
individual and collective success.
The right to education is a universal prerogative to education. Everyone has the right to education.
Regardless of your race, age, gender, ethnicity, disability, or status, you are entitled to enjoy this
fundamental human right.
➢ Productive Citizenry
- Since school is an agent of socialization, thus education helps in transforming people in becoming
literate and to recognize its function in the society. - Through education, we can also learn social norms, values and culture that are fortified by our
teachers, textbooks, and classmates as well.
