Education a Response to Global Need?

Someone’s comment: Education requires experts. Let us leave it to the experts. Education has to respond to the global need for knowledge and skills.

My answer:

Since when was education created to respond to the global need for skills? They are human beings, not machines to produce a desired output. If the world has a need for skills, it is up to an individual to decide if they want to fulfill it. If they don’t have the best interests of the students at heart, they don’t deserve to write the curriculum. They’re using the students to fulfill the needs and desires of the politicians. — curriculum writer here. 

How about the government control what is on our plate every meal according to the monetary and political benefits of the country rather than their health? Don’t follow every recipe given just because someone with a PhD in culinary wrote it. Who’s paying them to write what?

Response to my answer:

when was it created to not to?

My answer:

Education was first homeschooling before the government education system was established. Ask Adam and Eve how they train their kids.
