QUESTION 1

1.1. (2 ANSWERS PROVIDED)



The sociology of education is the study of educational systems, practices, and structures
from a sociological perspective. It explores how social forces, such as politics, economics,
and culture, influence education at both micro and macro levels. At the micro level, it
investigates how factors like teaching methods affect student outcomes, while at the macro
level, it examines the role of education in shaping societal organization. Sociologists of
education aim to understand the relationship between education and broader social
processes, offering insights into how education contributes to socialization, social
stratification, and the reproduction of cultural values (Saha, 2008: 300).
