Yes.. Knowledge is power. However there is something better than Knowledge and that is actually "doing something". Sure you can get that smarty pants know it all who can memorise god knows what from Royal history to Chinese history to whatever. But some of these people can't really "do" anything.

I think possibly the education system is fine. Maybe they should teach more "life" skills though. The main thing wrong with the education system is that there is no discipline.
They can pass it on; and/or write it down. More value in that than in the deepest depths of the European Central Bank.
