Martin
Philosophical or value foundations constitute the values and beliefs that make up the philosophies of life and of education and have a permeating influence on the other foundations.

Statements of educational philosophy point to methodical efforts by philosophers to:

i) Examine values in society
ii) Derive meanings from facts
iii) Organize experiences in a manner useful to educational practitioners and the pupils in the school system.

iv) Justify one or some educational beliefs over others.
v) Develop new proposals of educational practice for translation into action.

The value or philosophical orientations which the educational system is charged with promoting form an integral part of the culture of a nation.
