Theoretical framework: The Importance of Education and Role of School

This study is supported by the theory of Lev Vygotsky. Vygotsky was a Soviet psychologist and
social constructivist who developed the theory in the early 20th century. His work emphasized
the role of social interaction, cultural context, and language in cognitive development and
learning. Vygotsky's ideas have had a significant impact on educational psychology and have
influenced educational practices worldwide. His work continues to be studied and applied in
the field of education to understand the importance of social and cultural factors in learning
and the role of schools in facilitating development.The theoretical principle underlying the
Sociocultural Theory is that learning and cognitive development are inherently social and
influenced by cultural factors. According to Vygotsky, individuals acquire knowledge and
develop cognitive abilities through interactions with others and the cultural tools available in
their environment. This principle emphasizes the importance of social interaction,
collaboration, and cultural context in the process of learning and development.

The relevance of the Sociocultural Theory to the present study on the importance of education
and the role of schools lies in its emphasis on the social and cultural factors that influence
learning and development. By considering the sociocultural context in which education takes
place, this theory provides valuable insights into how schools can create effective learning
environments and promote meaningful educational experiences.By considering the insights
provided by the Sociocultural Theory, the present study can gain a deeper understanding of
how schools can effectively promote education, facilitate learning, and create inclusive and
supportive learning environments for students. It can inform the development of educational
policies, curriculum design, and instructional practices that align with the sociocultural
principles of learning and enhance the overall educational experience for students.
