Every system of education is multif

Every system of education is multifunctional, and these functions are patterned broadly in accordance with the "type" or "level" of the society. This multifunctionality goes far to explain why a close"fit"between school and society is unlikely. It helps us also to understand why the outcome of schooling in any society or subculture depends upon the nature of the societal milieu within which that system of education operates. From the research point of view, this multifunctionality brings the incidental benefit that intra-educational elements vary widely and offer challenging openings for diversified research attacks upon "the function" of education as a salient theme within sociology.
