Which of the following social institutions regulates education?

  1. Family

  2. Law

  3. Religion

  4. Economy

The correct answer is: Family

Families generally have the most influence over a child's education, as they are responsible for providing educational opportunities and support. However, laws, religion, and the economy can also play a role in education. Laws govern the standards and requirements for education, while religion can dictate what is taught and how it is taught in certain religious institutions. The economy can also impact education through funding and resources for schools. However, families ultimately have the most direct control and influence over a child's education.
