EDUCATION AND SOCIAL CHANGE: AN INTERRELATIONSHIP

• A great desire for change in social, economic and academic sector has been taken in
India. After Independence, the Five Year Plans, Commission, Act and Movement for
progress have been set afloat to achieve what we had hoped for. It has been pointed out
by most of the thinkers, that education has much to do with social change and that will
lead to other changes. We can find out that there is a strong relationship between
Education and Social Change.
EDUCATION AS A STATE OF SOCIAL CHANGE: 

• Without education, there can be no Social Change, is what this implies, and education
therefore comes prior to social change. Many reforms are initiated within the social areas
but since the people lack education, the reforms are ineffective in practice. Hence,
education should bridge the gap.
EDUCATION AS A TOOL OF SOCIAL CHANGE:

• Education provides knowledge, training and skills as well as inculcates new thoughts and
attitudes among the young. Many of the old superstitious beliefs and absolute values
which prevent progress, through Education can be changed in the favour of enlightened
ideas. Backwardness and Poverty of the masses are mainly due to illiteracy and
ignorance. Hence, education can be the instrument of rescuing them from their plight.
EDUCATION AS THE EFFECT OF SOCIAL
CHANGE:
• If education is the outcome of social change it means that social change has produced an
urge for education. If their effect is a great demand for education, then the nature of
education should be connected with the type of social change that occurred. Education
may, therefore, have certain objectives. Education for awareness, like, discussing,
problem solving, debate, original thinking must be encouraged in the classroom from a
very early age.
