Education has a great social importance especially in the modern, complex societies like ours. Education has this function of cultural transmission in all societies. It is only at the under levels of the schools and international Conferences, like CWMUN, that any serious attempt has been, or now is, made to deal with this area. Individuals must have personalities shaped or fashioned in ways that fit into thischanging world. Education everywhere has the function of the formation of social persona- lities. Education helps in transmitting culture through proper moulding of social personalities. In this way, it contributes to the integration. The importance of education is undeniable for every single person. It goes without saying that education has a positive effect on human life. All people need to study. Only with the advent of education can people gain knowledge and enlarge their view over the world. Education through Model UN Conferences is absolutely beneficial for society as a whole. It is a life-long process for each student that needs to be reinforced throughout life.
