Education can play a part in the development of a culture but only as long as the education is free of bias. If it is not then all education does is to uncritically support a culture and it's world-view.

Culture influences education by shaping what is valued, how knowledge is transmitted, and what is considered important to learn. It impacts curriculum choices, teaching methods, and educational goals. In multicultural societies, education often seeks to be inclusive and diverse to reflect the cultural backgrounds of students.

Éducation is shaped by culture as it seeks to educate or explain facts that are of interest to its own condition.

In schools teachers use a curriculum which overtly states what needs to be acquired by students. However in its delivery education is guilty of nurturing what is called a hidden curriculum, which is a term that defines all the other covert aspects of a culture. For instance it is quite normal in a text book to have a multitude of references to the dominant culture by way of images, examples and questions. It is highly problematic when these texts are used by students who come from a different culture. As images, examples, and questions might be totally irrelevant to their cultural context and therefore the education objectives get lost.
