The nature of the relationships that may exist between a particular society and its education system can be scrutinized from many angles. We may, for instance, be able to judge the extent of such relationships after studying and examining the various social institutions, or organs of the society, in order to discover in what ways they are involved in the growth, maintenance and provisions as well as the general support of educational activities in schools.
This is made possible by the observation that the society carries out its functions effectively not as a mass, but through its institutions. Through such institutions as the family, church, government, industry, and various other organizations or groups, the society is able to deliver its services, exercise its control, show its interest in and support for schools and the overall education process. When the school institutions become lax, weak or they cut down (reduce) their support for education, the broad educational objectives of the society are bound to erode, eventually. It is in this sense that the area of relationship between a society and its educational system has become a concern vital to the inquiry of sociology of education in its attempt to help us understand the issues pertaining to the social side of education.
