Explanation:

Preservation of Culture:

Culture is the blood vein of a society, which needs to be conserved. It is an important function of education to help in the preservation of culture or social heritage.

Education, through its specialized agencies, tries to inculcate the traditions, customs, values, arts, morals etc. into the tender minds of pupils.

Transmission of Culture:

In addition to preservation of culture, it is a task of education to maintain the continuity of culture by handing down the existing cultural experiences, values, traditions, customs etc. from one generation to another through its various programmes and practices. Without this transmission, the nation’s survival may be the toughest task and the progress of mankind can be stifled. Society reels in utter chaos and confusion.

Men will become savages and human relationship will be broken into pieces. Therefore, the substance of unity in any society is its precious culture. The famous sociologist, Ottaway writes, “The function of education is to transmit the social values and ideals to the young and capable members of society”.

Influence # 3. Promotion of Culture:

Besides preservation and transmission, another vital function of education is to modify the existing cultural patterns in the light of changes visible in the needs and demands of the society. These changes are heightened owing to cross-cultural variables. Thus, new cultural patterns are formed by replacing and reorienting the old outmoded cultural forms to suit the changing needs of time and man. Therefore, society makes ostensible progress. This part of education is called progressive function of education. As such, education performs by constantly reorganizing and reconstructing human experiences for the promotion and enrichment of culture.
