In most countries, prison is the most common solution when people commit a crime. However, if they were to receive better education, it could prevent them from becoming criminals. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In recent years, crime has become one of the most detrimental problems to society and the most popular solution in most nations to deal with
this
 issue is prison.
However
, some individuals convince us that being well-educated could prevent illegal actions in the future. I completely agree with
this
 statement and I will support it for 2 following reasons.
To begin
 with, a greater education can give people a chance to have a high-paid job which can eliminate their criminal potential. It goes without saying that with a stable job, individuals will need significant time to work in order to keep up with the high productivity of companies, so they will not have time to commit a crime.
For example
, the crime rate of Singapore which has the best tuition in the world is 10%,
on the other hand
, in the Philippines,
this
 rate is 40%. There is no doubt that effective education can stop society from becoming criminals.
Furthermore
, the school can enhance students’ knowledge of the law. In fact, nowadays, the government always adds to the educational programs a large number of moral lessons which are used to teach pupils about law and behaviour standards. Undoubtedly, in the future, they will be more aware of the consequences of guilt and have a tendency to not participate in illegal actions. As held by the opponent, some crowd say that whether people become a prisoner or not is decided by their environmental factors
such
 as family and neighbourhood, and it can not be affected by school or university. No one can deny
this
 idea, but with an education which is good enough children can have the ability to know what is the right thing and they will not be impacted by their surrounding environment.
