This idea is said to be stemmed from having a meritocratic society where everyone has an equality of opportunity presented to them in education and then later on, the workplace. This is how education serves its purpose to s elect young people for their future work roles.Another way that young people are prepared and selected for their future work roles is by education giving them the specialised knowledge and kills they allow for need when they meet the workforce, as mentioned in item A. This is done by providing a trained and qualified workforce in education by the introduction of vocational courses like modern apprenticeships which combine training and part- time attendance at college, meaning that they learn on a Job as well as learning in an education environment. New Right are the sociologists which focused a lot on marketization of education which focused on encouraging emulation between schools so that education would improve, providing a better work force for society and in turn, better preparing young people for their future work roles.However, one of the delineate functions of education is social solidarity which means individual members of society must odor like they are part of a singl e community of people Durkheim argues that without it social life and cooperation would not be possible as everyone would want to achieve their own selfish desires. He argues that this is taught when we learn about History and Citizenship, which travel by us the idea of a shared community also it does this by passing on societys culture and continues the value consensus, which is an agreement among society members on what value are important. School acts as a society in miniature as it prepares its pupils for life in a wider society, which requires social solidarity, as we have to cooperate with people who arent family or friends, Just like in the workplace. We have to act accordingly to a set of impersonal rules that apply to all.In item A, it is mentioned that the family cannot equip individuals with everything they need to puzzle fully functioning members of a large-scale society and as family is only the start of social solidarity, the feeling of belonging in a family group, e ducation is needed to thrusting that in a ider scale (as a typical nuclear family will not be bigger than 6 or so people). This is one key tunction ot education, and it exists to encourage social solidarity as well as other factors. Marxists would argue that education has different roles in society Althusser said that there are devil ways in which the bourgeoisie keep their power, one of which is the ideological state apparatus. ISAs are the way that the bourgeoisie control peoples ideas, values and beliefs, and include religion, mass media and the education system. He argues that the education system is an important ISA because t reproduces affiliate inequality by passing it on generation to generation, therefore failing to overthrow the bourgeoisie consistently.Another reason why its important is that it legitimises class inequality by producing ideologies that cover the true effect by making workers accept that inequality is inevitable and that they realise their place in so ciety, therefore if they accept these ideas, they are less likely to challenge capitalism and how its run. This is one way that Marxists argue that young pupils get allocated roles for their future work roles, and education is there for them to accept heir role and not argue against it. Another Marxist view on education is the myth of meritocracy which is the legitimation of class inequality, which is what a capitalist society is ground on so there is always a risk that those at the bottom will feel their inequality is undeserved and unfair and therefore will rebel against it.Bowles and Gintis argue that education is the reason that this does not happen, as it legitimising class inequality by producing ideologies that discharge why this inequality is fair and inevitable. Bowles and Gintis describe education as a giant myth-making machine ike the myth of meritocracy, which means that it is untrue that everyone has an equal opportunity to achieve, that rewards are based on effort a nd so on. A reason for achieving high income is argued to be determined more from your family and class background rather than ability or educational achievement. This serves the higher classes as it makes it appear that they gained their roles in the workforce by an equal opportunity but in reality, that is not the case, they use this to trick working class pupils to accept inequality.This means that the education system exists not nly to allocate and train young people for their future work roles but also to accept the roles they are given and for the bourgeoisie to keep their power. In conclusion, the education system exists to provide all kinds of functions to society, as well as allocation roles for young people that they will continue to have in the workforce they are also trained for that role so they have the skills necessary to do the Job. Also, according to Marxists, education also introduces certain values and beliefs into young peoples minds so that they accept the inequ ality that happens in a capitalist society as an everyday inevitability.
