Which of the following is correct in the context of socialization of children ?
Answer: A
The correct statement is that school is a secondary socialization agent and family is a primary socialization agent.
Primary socialization happens first, in early childhood, mainly within the family: the child learns language, basic habits, values and roles from parents and close relatives. Secondary socialization comes later, through institutions and groups outside the home, such as school, peers, the workplace and the mass media.
So school is not a primary agent, which rules out the second option. Peers are not primary and the family is not secondary, which rules out the third. The fourth is half wrong: the mass media are secondary agents, but the family is the primary one.
