It is a well-known fact that the humans get knowledge from society. There is no human
endeavour that found to be without moral and values. Values and beliefs, both are conscious
and unconscious, of its proponents. Schooling in children’s life plays an important role. Some
of the children and parents take school education for granted but it is not true in reality.
Giving education and following school curriculum gives a structured and stratified element of
social relations in the society. In school, time is a crucial framework for pupils and teachers
to negotiate their social status, local social and cultural practices, mediate the mechanism of
power, and control. However, new technologies used in the education field are beginning to
disrupt this finely tuned aspect of instructional life that leads to the formation of new
learning. These learning will be self-determined and self-learning for a student in his life.
This will allow learning them the new forms and values of society that will take place in the
classroom and in timetable-based models. The social curriculum followed in the UK is
similar to the culture followed in the society whereas there are some deviations too
(McLaren, 2015).
Before doing the research on this topic, I considered the UK to be the country in which the
education is given much importance in the society. The country like UK in which all age and
income group people are there and want their children to be educated well. Knowing the
norms, rules, and regulations of the society is the want of all parents and family (Topping,
2012). The mobility of the culture has increased in the country. This implies that people are
living apart from their families. However, the kinship relationship is remaining the regular
communication and family reunions. However, from the past decades, it can see that the
people from the varied background had greater access to the higher education and business
opportunities that are leveling the wealth distribution in the country. This will increase the
upward mobility in the country. Hence, the middle class and the working class become more

homogenous in the country as there is still too much elite a privileged class in Britain
(McLaren, 2016).
However, after doing the research I come to know that the social ideology followed in the
UK is something which brings the unity and integration in the working for the individual. The
school curriculum specifies the behaviour and norm to follow in the society by the individual.
The UK economy supports the education in such a manner that will bring the best result out
of the options available to them. The best available option available to the government in the
UK is that providing the free education to the children living there. Not only the government
is contributing to the development of the individual in the social factors among the
individuals but the individuals are also learning the societal factors considered the best to
adopt (Roberts, 2016). In my point of view, the factors that taken into consideration in
societal factors which are there in school curriculum are the lifestyle, educational and cultural
factors (Ball, 2012).
Nevertheless, after doing the research, many other factors should also be taken into the
consideration to facilitate the proper education and learning to the students in their school
days. The proper education and knowledge is the right of each and everyone in the society.
The person who follows the nature and culture of the society is the person who will have the
more goodwill and respect in the society. In a country like the UK, the education gives free to
the students to increase the literacy level in the country. This will encourage the parents to
send their child to the school. This will help to develop them the communication and
diversity knowledge in the society. Normally the education divided into two separate stages.
They begin with the primary education at the age of five and this usually last until they are
eleven. The focus of the curriculum of UK focuses on developing the students for their
future growth throughout the years of their education. In the early age of 2 to 5 years, the
