4. CULTURE - INTRODUCTION
Culture and education are two inseparable parameters and they are
interdependent.
Any educational pattern gets its guidance from the cultural patterns of a
society. For instance, in a society with a spiritual pattern of culture, the
educational focus would be on the achievement of moral and eternal values of
life.
On the contrary, if the culture of a society is materialistic, then its educational
pattern will be shaped for the attainment of materialistic values and comforts.
A society which does not follow any culture definitely has no definite
educational organization. So, the culture of a country has a very powerful
impact on its educational system.
5. CULTURE - INTRODUCTION
Today while human lives continue to live in local realities, the
lives and experiences of youth growing up will be allied to,
social processes, economic realities, technological and media
innovations, and cultural flows that go across international
borders with ever greater momentum.
These worldwide transformations will involve youth to adapt to
new skills that are well ahead of what most educational systems
can now distribute.
6. CULTURE - MEANING
Culture should be regarded as the set of distinctive spiritual, material,
intellectual and emotional features of society or a social group, and
encompasses, in addition to art and literature, lifestyles, ways of living
together, value systems, traditions and beliefs.
Culture shapes individual’s worldviews and the way communities address the
changes and challenges of their societies. For this reason, education serves as
a critical vehicle for transmitting these value systems as well as for learning
from the humanity’s diversity of worldviews, and for inspiring future
creativity and innovation.
(The Culturalization of Human Rights Law, Federico Lenzerini,2014)
7. CULTURE - MEANING
The most powerful and influential method to solve any
social and economic issues in the society is nothing but,
learning through cultural engagement at all levels and for
diverse target groups.
There is an urge and special consideration on the cultural
sector in educational and lifelong learning programs as it
has been ignored as the positive impact at all levels is
indisputable.
