Education has both intellectual and economic value. Education encourages imagination, creativity and interest in knowledge. It also gives students more opportunities for high-paying jobs and offers better economic security.
Education is an essential part of intellectual freedom, and one of its main values is improving how students view, exist in and participate in the world. Because education is a social event for most people, it encourages sharing of ideas and experiences among students, which helps students become better members of the community by teaching morals, ethics and community responsibility. Without education, for example, students would be unable to understand the benefits of volunteering.
