Which of the following is NOT a function of the school?

• A. Reproduction of species
• B. Socialization
• C. Knowledge transmission
• D. Skill development

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is what schools are designed to do in society. Schools primarily socialize learners, transmit knowledge, and develop skills. Socialization involves teaching norms, values, language, and how to interact with others so students can participate effectively in community life and the workforce. Knowledge transmission is about passing on essential information, ideas, and cultural content found in the curriculum. Skill development covers building literacy, numeracy, critical thinking, problem solving, and practical abilities needed for various tasks and careers. Reproduction of species is not a goal of schooling; it’s a biological process governed by genetics and reproduction, not education.
