Sociology- Study of Society

Soclus /Societus (Society)
Logos(Study/ Science)
-“Sociology is the study of relationship between man and his human environment.”

The Importance of Society in Education

Since the school is established by a society to serve its needs, the content of education
(school programs) should deal primarily with the nature, background, andneeds of society.
(School Administration and Supervision, H. Gregorio, Ph.D.).Note that the school is
established by the society, we can say, therefore, that the school cannot exist without the
presence of society.
