Understandably, a child learns from other children, his parents, members of his family, members of the community, the school, and from observations of various other surrounding factors. All these components form what are a child’s social surroundings. This environment has the capacity to influence his acquisition of physical, mental and social knowledge, his present and future abilities, and interactions, discrimination behavior patterns, personality growth, individualism, competencies and various other areas and forms of development. When the nature of the social environment is such that there is keen interest, coordinated efforts and adequate provisions towards the social and personal needs of a growing child, will develop as well balanced, socially well-adjusted and emotionally stable person ready to learn and lead a full life as a human being I n society. On the other hand, if the social environment is one of indifference, ignorance, Social discord, improper family care, control and guidance, condoning or permitting deviant behavior, a growing child is bound to grow as an ill- trained or ill- behaved person, a socially maladjusted or feeble-minded individual, an uncaring, indifferent or irresponsible member of the society. The ability of such a child to learn and to lead a full life in society is greatly impaired considering how much the social environment may influence a growing child in his ability to learn, it is necessary for the teacher or any educator to become aware of and to take interest in the factors that constitute a child’s social environments.

It is in that sense that a child’s social environment and their effects on his learning have become such an important issue in the study of the social side of education.
