Many of the above have merit (not all, of course). Education, as in primary education, is to provide students with problem solving skills in order live in society. Also, social skills, so they know how to treat others and understand the differences between right and wrong (bring back the paddle!). Some high schools are now getting "specialized" in a particular field, so if a student knows in what general direction they want to progress in life, learning work-related skills is also a benefit, but not necessary.
