this allocation of positions within the school is based on a meritocracy‚ rewards are achieved through own efforts and abilities. The socialising function within the education system is seen as creating social solidarity‚ a collective conscience. Durkhiem argued: “To become attached to society‚ the child must feel in it something is real‚ alive and powerful‚ which dominates the person and to which he owes the best part of himself.” So school acts as a ‘miniature society’ preparing us for life in wider
