Yes, but that concerns how schooling for the masses came about. People that expected to be active citizens, participate in the state, drive society forward, etc., have been educated for millenia, in ancient Greece, Rome, China, Egypt, all the way to today. So unless we strive to live like peasants and subjects to royalty of the old times, or like the dystopic living-in-a-drugs-and-entertenment-blur degraded population of "Brave New World", we should not lose education.
