         Man is surrounded by culture right from the time of his birth. Culture makes many demands on man through the mechanization of approval and disapproval culture influences personality through the process of socialization and social control. Broadly speaking education is the transmission of cultural heritage. It is also the means of social control. In the middle ages cultural education was meant for only certain classes, but today it is open for all. Today culture means acquainting oneself with the best that has been  thought and said in the world. The main objective of cultural education is to guard against narrow specialization what is known as liberal education. Certain aspects of culture stand the test of time and merit preservation and promotion; certain other aspects need revision, if not total abolition.

Hence, their abolition are necessary precondition for the promotion of a healthy social order.
