I think that in the globalized economy that has been steadily increasing, education plays a large part in who is succesful. What was stated earlier by others that preschool helps with social interaction is not wrong at all. But also if a child is more socialy adept they will find it easier to learn and succede later in life. FOr me Education is economical building blocks. Without educated people a country is not going to be in the forefront of advances in the future.
