In the process of children's social development and socialization, how is the 'school' considered as an agency, and how does its role differ compared to the family?

Understanding Socialization Agencies

According to Child Development and Pedagogy, socialization agencies are categorized into primary and secondary:

• Primary Agency: The family is considered the primary agency where the child learns directly and emotionally right after birth.
• Secondary Agency: The school is a secondary agency that is more formal, planned, and organized.

Through school, children connect with broader societal rules, values, discipline, and formal education, preparing them for roles outside the narrow confines of the family.
