The first importance is to develop and to analyse the social phenomena that occur in a particular branch of sociology that is the sociology of the education. It will consist in understanding the link between the society and the education i.e. how the education exercises an influence on the society and how each society determines its system of education.  

 It is necessary to note that the education is not a domain isolated from the social life but is in interaction with other domains. We cannot understand the phenomenon of the education without putting it on in a whole of the systems close to the social life.

It is also an introduction to the personal research, and this must push to the consultation of the documents concerning the same object. 

 

Another importance is of interest limited to people that, by taste or interest, will make some research on the education. They must possess particular sociological analysis of the education so that after this course, they should be able to analyse the main facts related to the education system or to establish the professional reports in relation to different aspects of the same phenomenon connected to the education.
