Education is education of course, whether it is general or special, but it only benefits you, it does not harm you, and the knowledge you gain from it makes you very successful or very unsuccessful. It depends on the mind and interest of the child, how much he is interested in learning, whether he is studying from the heart, for the desire of his parents. Our thinking is different, if he thinks the opposite, he will be called a fool, so let's stop this here, it can also lead to a big debate. The education that is in school is not a knowledge, but it makes us grow up, and when we become adults, then we gain knowledge from our life, and that is our real education.
As you said, every education is important and has an essential place in our lives, and we tend to gain knowledge and education at every stage of our lives. School is the beginning of our educational journey. It's basic, but it's very important because it creates the foundation on which we build the foundation of our future education. One might say that school is very basic and not very important, but that's not true; ask those about the importance of basic education who didn't go to school because they can feel the emptiness in their lives and the difficulties they have faced because of it.
Those who don't pursue education at all will always feel the lack of basic education in whatever they do, because you need it no matter what you are doing; and those who pursue education without a proper basis for education will know how important it is when they start facing difficulties.
So, both basic education, and higher education are important, and skills are a necessity but only when you are done with the education first.
