  Abstract:  From a social perspective, education is a social system within society, intersecting other social systems and has its own agents, institutions, values, inequalities, and is regulated by special laws and policies. It has a specific social dynamic that goes through phases and changes that resonate to the phenomena in the larger social system. In the new millennium, education requires researcher’s’ renewed examination of its involvement in social progress as well as in the maintenance of social inequalities and economic differences. Schools are life contexts for learning, play, competition, work, identity formation, and training of a large variety of competences. Schools are not merely places of education and work, but also social institutions that shape peoples lives, and help structure society (D. B. Bills, 2004).
