“The main function of the education system is to promote meritocracy”
‘Meritocracy’ is a concept that defines our input directly corresponds to our output. Functionalist school of thought suggests this concept runs through the veins of the education system in its purest form. Therefore as meritocratic values are core to the establishment, functionalists argue the primary function of education is to actively endorse meritocracy. Adversely, Marxian/Feminist philosophy express the promotion of meritocracy is neither a primary or minor function in education, but reciprocally a absent function. In its’ replacement is evidently flourishing classist/patriarchal forces in our schools that block the promotion of meritocracy. Whilst it may be true our schooling system has a degree meritocracy, a credit to a standardized examination system, functionalism fails to interpret meritocracy is not a pure and singular concept. Aligning to Marxian/Feminist schools of thought, meritocracy is combined with other socio-economic factors. Strong Statistical data evidences this, where there is ironic pattern of achievement from group to group. Therefore as there isn’t a true meritocracy in our education system, how can promoting a meritocracy be a primary function in the education system?

Okay I recieved an 8 in my sociology mock and it looks way more detailed than any of the introductions I've ever written and shows a wide range of knowledge.
However, for the actual exam, I do advise not to go into this much detail if it's just for the introduction paragraph as the actual marks will be gained throughout the rest of the essay and you may waste time on the intro.
Hope this helps.

Why have you created this same thread multiple times? At any rate youd get a better response posting it in the study help forum.
