A school is a social institution that conserves and transmits culture to the younger
generation. It trains and socializes the individual and thus serves societal needs. It
molds children into well balanced citizens who are physically strong, mentally alert,
emotionally stable, culturally sound and sound efficient. Learners acquire knowledge,
skills and dispositions that make them able members of society. School is the place
where the destiny of the nation is shaped.
The basic purpose of education is the transmission of knowledge. While before,
education was a family responsibility, along with the community and the church,
industrialization changed it dramatically. Schools became necessary when cultural
complexity created a need for specialized knowledge and skills which could not be easily
acquired in the family, community, and church. The complexity of modern life has not
diminished the function of the family, but it has added the need for many types of
instruction that require specialized educational agencies like the school, college, or
university.
