I don't think in today's world anyone would say education isn't important.
I personally have always been mindful of it on all counts. But for me, education not only as in a college degree, it definitely comprises of that, but then its also more, much more than it.
"Ed-u-ca-tion: The act or process of imparting or acquiring general knowledge, developing the powers of imparting or acquiring general knowledge, developing the powers of reasoning and judgement, and generally of preparing oneself or others intellectually for a mature life"
Along with the education which helps in acquiring a good job and a name/standing for oneself, which is ofcourse very important and people by default strive for it; the education that is also important is which is to be applied in our day to day life. The education which we should instill our children with. The education of knowing and applying right and wrongs in life. The education that we need to follow to bring about the best in everything; be it in any sphere of life.
Few most basic examples of applying this education would be:

Few most basic examples of applying this education would be:
- Good Morals. Being Kind, compassionate, not only when you are being watched or to show
- Patriotism. There should be no bigger religion than the Maatrubhoomi, the country
- Giving respect to everybody, irrespective of whatever strata they belong to
- Opportunities to all - Everyone deserves a chance to excel, not just a certain priveleged percentage
- Teaching Children the right values and most importantly, walking that talk with them
- Exercising the duties of a true citizen of the country, for the country. Following rules of the land and not only when you are being watched
These are things that no-one teaches us but we've always known these and applied it at the places where it seemed appropriate. There would be so many other things which matter, but for which we don't give a thought. Above stated are just smallest examples which were at the top of my mind.
When people start applying this knowledge in these small but significant day to day activities, that's when we'll see the effects of overall education. Economic freedom with personal/social consciousness.
That's when we'll reap the benefits and understand the importance of evolved Education, in the true sense.
