I'm a firm believer in the importance of education.
Correct, education is important but it does not have to be academic always. School teaches us manners, how to be polite and gentle which is good. To be a man (human race) this is a must for us. But achieving financial success is not directly related to academic education. It mostly depends on other factors. Factors like entrepreneurship, investing mentality, consistency - never give up attitude, can do attitude, ability to think out of the box, wealth management, know when to quit etc. I doubt a a school has much idea about any of these, if they had these then everyone who had a PHD or even college education would be Billionaires. Plus you would find your teachers most wealthiest in your area.

Schooling system has been designed to work for others they do not teach you how to create scopes for new workers. It's psychological. They don't want you to become someone who will challenge their business.
update:
I hope you read Rich Dad Poor Dad
Can you give us more good financial education books? Just like this, it catches my attention when I read the quotes of Robert Kiyosaki.Think and Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill
The 4-Hour Workweek - Tim Ferriss
MONEY Master the Game - Tony Robbins
The Secret - Rhonda Byrne
These are some books worth reading. There are tons though.
