Direction: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
Many sociologists have argued that there is a functional relationship between education and economic system. They point to the fact that mass formal education began in industrial society and is an established part of all industrial
societies. They note that the expansion of the economics of industrial societies is accompanied by a corresponding expansion of their
educational systems. They explain this
correspondence in terms of the needs of industry for skilled and trained man-power, needs which are met by the educational system. Thus, the provision of mass elementary education in Britain in 1870 can be seen as a response to the needs of industry for a literate and numerate workforce at a time when industrial processes were
becoming more complex and the demand for technical skills was steadily growing.
