This lecture is about the relationship between culture and education. It is important to examine the educational setting because you can gain valuable insight into a culture by studying its perception of and approach to education. An awareness of the cultural diversity in education can help your understanding of specific communication behaviors in multicultural classrooms.

In essence all cultures teach the same thing: the perpetuation of the culture passing their history and traditions from generation to generation. Each culture's system of formal and informal education seeks to meet the perceived needs of its society. Thus, in every culture, schools serve a multitude of functions. First, they help fashion the individual. As children grow, what they learn and the ways in which they learn influence their thinking and behavior. From a child's view, education provides a way to certainty. It offers to every child a set of guidelines and values. The English philosopher Herbert Spencer wrote, "Education has for its object the formation of character." Children are also shaped by their schools as they become aware of what they need to know in order to lead productive, successful, and satisfying lives.
