Studies show that criminals get low level of education. Some people believe that the best way to reduce crime is educating people in prison so they can get a job after leaving prison. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Research has proven that lawbreaker receives a small degree of education. Many hold the opinion that the most suitable way to lower criminal offences is by teaching those in jail the skills they need to acquire employment after their release. I agree with
this
 notion to a certain extent.
Firstly
, many people are sent to prison due to crimes
such
 as theft and joining gangs that participate in illegal activities.
This
 is because they did not graduate from school, let alone college, to obtain the tools that they need to make money in an honest way.
For instance
, 2019 Statistics obtained from prison research revealed that 80% of criminal offences are committed by uneducated individuals who have no other options to put food on their tables except by committing these acts.
Therefore
, educating these delinquent's during the time that they spent locked up, paves the way for them to receive income without breaking the law. Overall,
this
 leads to a reduction in illegal activities.
However
, let us not ignore the fact that some lawbreaker is well educated. Which means that a lack of education does not drive the acts they commit, in fact, they are driven by hate.
Although
 they have spent time in prison for their acts, their mentality remains the same, especially if they are part of a cult. In these situations, no amount of knowledge can prevent them from repeating their offences again.
For example
, people who are part of racist organizations like the KKK, will continue to kill black humans as they believe they are entitled to their cause. Undoubtedly, the application of teaching schemes in
prisons
Suggestion
Prisons
 will not uplift the burden of their crimes once their jail time is up. In conclusion, despite the many wrongdoer's that would refrain from criminal acts, once they are released from captivity, if they were to be taught important working skills, some already
posses
have as an attribute, knowledge, or skill
possess
 these skills and continue to cause havoc.
