What would it be measured in?

  Perhaps education has an intrinsic value to society that does not need to be measured?

    For instance: developing citizens who demonstrate critical thinking, responsibility, organization, independence, collaboration, initiative and self-regulation. Not all of these are easily measurable, but all contribute to a prosperous and free society.

      Yet every non-uni worker seems to develop those skills without going to university. It would be interesting to measure. Critical thinking in particular doesn't seem to be taught. I personally believe none of those skills were taught during my own engineering degree. For me it was a lot of simple regurgitation against closed ended test questions. In hindsight mostly a fucking waste of time: a piece of paper to get a job.

  That’s what the Medici asked Leonardo.
