Discussion

In his book 'Republic', Plato discussed about education. Which of the following statements is true about Education according to Plato ?

  • A.Social education is a means to social justice.
  • B.Education does not build human's character.
  • C.Education is a private enterprise.
  • D.Education is a path of social success only.

Answer: A

According to Plato, social education is a means to social justice.

In the Republic, justice in the state means each class doing the work for which it is fitted, and a state-controlled system of education is the means of training each person for that role. Education is therefore the chief instrument of creating a just society, and it shapes character above all.

The other statements contradict Plato: he held that education builds character, treated it as a function of the state rather than private enterprise, and saw its aim as virtue and justice, not mere social success.
