What is the purpose of education? Education, as to its
responsibility, can be approached from the perspectives of the students,
the teachers and the process as to how knowledge is taught, which is
usually represented by the schools. However, education remains to be a
sociological process in which individual development can be seen to be
directed at, initially, the purpose of one’s immediate society, and
later on, the rest of the state. As Rothstein explains, since schooling
has become the state’s responsibility thereby reflecting the statement
“education as a right”, the state can also control as to what the
students should learn for its own benefit. On one hand, Rothstein also
presents that “educational systems cannot exist in a vacuum” (1); this
means that although there are the controls that are meant to shape
education, there are still the influences in which education becomes a
tool that steps outside the framework of control. Hence, the purpose of
education can be seen to exist in the co-dependence among individual,
society and general social systems where education becomes a core
responsibility and element that will shape the decisions of today and
project a certain future. Therefore, such ideals and responsibilities
can be founded in the evolution of education, from the teachings of the
basics in reading, writing and character and moral development, to a
number of other skills which have increased in number through time, the
diversity of the society and the student body, and the coverage of the
world. It is interesting to know that the beginnings of education may be
seen in the proliferation of knowledge although what also works with
knowledge are the technical and basic aspects that are still common
today such as the case of reading and writing. Literacy is founded on
these skills, which can be seen to work hand-in-hand with substance and
content; substance and content, in this regard, then gives way to moral
and character development, which is also another equally significant
factor that would become among the fundamentals of education (“College
Week”). Through time, basic skills of reading and writing would further
expand to analysis and comprehension, the same way the basic knowledge
would further expand to hundreds of courses that institutions offer
today. In a way, this shows that this “explosion of knowledge”
(“College Week”) can be seen to have rooted from the development of the
society where technologies become more sophisticated and information and
knowledge have become the core of the modern economy. After appearing
