Society engages itself in many activities. Education is one of the manifold activities of the society. As such the aims and methods of education depend on the nature of society in which it is organized. For instance, in a predominantly agricultural society, agricultural education will enjoy a privileged status. In an industrialised or industrializing society, technological education will be given importance. In a democratic society, education will be organized for all sections of the society whereas in an oligarchical society, education is a privilege of the few. Further, all activities of a society require an education which may be either formal or non-formal or informal in nature. The type of education given depends upon the nature of information, knowledge, skills, attitudes, appreciations and values to be developed as well as the capabilities of the social institutions in that society.
