Which of the following chains represents the change processes underlying the educational system of a free society?

In a free society the change processes run political change, then social change, then psychological change, and finally educational change.

Political change comes first because a free society's governance and policy shape the direction of all reform.

Social change follows, as altered political structures reshape social relations and institutions.

Psychological change comes next, since new social conditions transform the attitudes, values and mindsets of individuals.

Educational change appears last, adapting curricula and methods to the new political, social and psychological realities.

This chain treats education as responsive to society, echoing the sociological view that the school reflects wider social forces.
