IMPACT OF CHANGING SOCIAL NORMS ON THE EDUCATIONAL PLANNING AND ADMINISTRATION

The society is dynamic in nature. The social norm may be discussed as what people in some group believe to be normal in the group, that is, believed to be a typical action, an appropriate action, or both (Paluck and Ball 2010). The social changes bring about changes in the social norms which has various implications for the education systems. The changing norms need to be reflected in the educational policies and practices for achieving the conformity. Though on the other hand, these norms at times have been challenged by the educational system for the betterment of the society as a whole
