In the narrow sense culture means that man-made social organization which promotes specific habits of thinking and living,specific habits of social interaction,specific ways of eating,dressing and living,religious and scientific belief and various material objects together with political and social customs,traditions and patterns of behavior which cumulatively satisfy the needs of human beings.
Culture is that complex whole that consists of every thing we think,do and have as members of society.In each society,Culture is of two types: a)Material Culture and, b)Non-Material Culture.
Material Culture includes things of physical welfare and Non -Material Culture includes all those ideals, attitudes and values which modify the behavior of an individual.
Education and Culture are intimately and integrally connected.Hence, the culture pattern of society conditions its educational pattern.Culture is the sum-total of acquired traits.It is also a product of different entity.A culture is good if it has some utility to the individual as well as to the society.If it does not fulfill this purpose,it decays and dies out in the long run.Hence, one should see and adopt the cultural beauties and excellencies of all the cultures that exist in the world.Only this vitality and welcoming attitude can promote the development of world culture which leads to international brotherhood.The prime need of our society is the cultural integration.Education and Culture are intimately and integrally connected, hence, it may be safely asserted that the culture of a country has a very powerful impact on its educational pattern.This material influence is being discussed in the following lines.
When material culture develops at a fast pace due to scientific researches and inventions, non-material culture consisting of ideals, values and norms lag behind creating a gulf between the two.
Education is the only means to bridge this cultural lag by its activities and pro grammes of development.
It is clear from the above discussion that whereas on one hand,education cultured an individual, on the other hand ,it preserves, transmits and develops the culture of a society. In short,education and culture are mutually interdependent complementary and supplementary in all their aspects and activities.
