Structural Functionalist Theory In Education

In order to explore the function of system and subsystem we need to use a different methods so that we can understand the function of the system in day to day basis.
Theoretical Perspective Theoretical perspective is the different perspective of social world, with this theories are generated in order to give an answer to the questions of the social problem. There are three major theoretical perspective: a) the structural functionalist perspective b) the conflict perspective and c) symbolic interactionist perspective.
a) The structural functionalist perspective
The structural-functionalist perspective is largely based on the works of Herbert Spencer, Emile Durkheim, Talcott Parsons, and Robert Merton. The structural-functionalist perspective

The structural-functionalist perspective use the term “functional” and “dysfunctional” to identify the results of each member when output is shown. Functional refers to the productive contribution to the system and dysfunctional refers to contribution of unstable in the system.

But it majority of the villager send their children to Zilla Parishad school, only few cases parents send their child to private high school. Some parents like their child to have a semi Marathi and English medium, so the case I conduct with the family want their children to have an education in both Marathi and English medium. According to the case I conduct: one of the child mother told us that when she send his son to private English school, he only study in English which she does not like and she told us her son must also know how to
