Education as a part of culture has the twin functions of conservation and modification or renewal of the culture. Education is the process by which society transmits its cultural heritage, accumulated knowledge, values and skills from one generation to another. Education is an instrument of cultural change. Education can impart knowledge, training and skills as well as inculcate new ideas and attitudes among the young. It is culture in which education germinates and flowers. It is culture also upon which education exerts, in turn, a nourishing influence. The intimate relationship between culture and education is evident from the fact that one of the major aims of education is to impart to the child cultural heritage and social heritage. Every individual is born into a particular culture which provides definite patterns of behaviour and values, thereby guiding his/her conduct in different walks of life.
