“The main function of education should be to enable people to gain employment” Do you agree?

I do not agree that the main function of education should be to enable people to gain employment. Education teaches the students the general knowledge and skills such as social skills to enable them to survive in society when they graduate from their respective institutions. The students are also expected to learn moral values such as respect for the elders, which includes teachers and parents. To enable the people to gain employment should not be seen as the main function of education.
“The most important function of education at any level is to develop the personality of the individual and the significance of his life to himself and to others. This is the basic architecture of a life; the rest is ornamentation and decoration of the structure."- Grayson Kirk
As seen from this quote, the main function of education is to develop one’s personality and his significance. It is not simply to aid one in finding employment. However, education degrees has been used by several companies and employers as a basic guideline to gauge a person’s competence, hence the common misconception that education serves to help people gain employment. As such, I cannot deny that there are indeed quite a lot of students who pursue education just to increase their chances of finding employment.
Another function of education may be seen as political, by the government to instil certain forms of thinking or knowledge into the younger generation of the population. An example is the case of education in Nazi Germany, where education was used by the Nazi’s to ensure control over the people’s minds. For example, students were instilled the concepts of blood purity, and discrimination against non-Aryans. In this case, the main function of education was surely not to enable people to gain employment, but rather for political uses by the government in population control.
