Functionalist - everything in society is set up
to keep things stable. They don't like change
Marxists - society is unfair and
they want things to change
Functionalists are in favour of
education because it helps you fit into
society and stops things from changing
Marxists are not in favour of education as they think it is unfair that
schools group people by ability and put a limit on what they can do. They
believe doing this will push people into higher/lower paid jobs which is
unfair.
