Functionalism views schooling as a means to socialize
individuals into the norms, values, and roles of society. Schools
promote social integration, develop necessary skills for the
workforce, and ensure role allocation based on merit.
1.2 Conflict (Marxist) Theory and Schooling (5)
Marxist theory sees education as a tool used by the ruling class
to maintain control. It reproduces class inequality, promotes
capitalist ideology (e.g., obedience, hierarchy), and limits the
working class’s chances for social mobility.
