Answer 2

An example of a latent function of education is: making bunch of friends in school, knowing the value of friendship.

Explanation:

Latent functions of education are unintentional and unrecognized functions. Going to school, interacting with adults and following the established rules are considered as Latent functions.

Going to a school and getting educated, where skills, knowledge and character are being molded and developed are the manifest function of the school.

While studying in school, we make bunch of friends as we know the values of friendship. These are the unintended and unconscious functions but at the same time they are beneficial functions transmitted by school. This is the latent function of school.
