Some people think that the main purpose of school is to turn children into good citizens and workers, rather than to benefit them as individuals. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It has been argued that training children

responsible citizens and workers is the purpose of their education and not for individual gains. In my opinion, I concur with

fact. Huge sum is invested in education by

could not have been to raise rapacious citizens that will exploit the economy for their personal benefits. When education is free for children and some of them are even fed in

no doubt that it is expected that when these children become adults, they will be responsible for national development and growth; they will give back to the society that made them.

For example
