Look I will quote Albert Einstein himself since you don't believe me "imagination is more important than knowledge" here Einstein realizes that knowledge, which is just another word for education in this context, is inferior to simply thinking outside the box. In effect, Einstein is saying that education is not as important as people say it is. Like fuck man, how does it get anymore clear that education is not as great as it claims itself to be.
this may have already been said but I was a truanting bastard when I was a teenager and they way they broke it down to me is that, the state/gov pays for your education up front, so they sue your folks, basically, it can be said that perhaps your folks aren't looking out for your best interest by not being a good enough parent to make sure they get some sort of an education. possibly neglect i'm not entirely sure but i think the gov see it as you basically giving them the finger and they don't like that, or wasting money.
I think there may be exceptions in some circumstances if you live in remote places, home schooling or maybe even the closest church/community centre perhaps. I actually finished my key skills after I finished secondary school during an IT course.

denying someone the ability to read just because they cant conceive of such a concept by themselves seems very cruel.
Sure, power over nature. That's a good thing, like that we don't have to expect only half of our children or less to survive childhood. The upsides are immensely favorable compared to the downsides. Humans are not dumb animals. Our development and quest for knowledge is not society's doing, it's a natural thing, and makes us different from other species.
Mother pus bucket!
Education is control, thats why. If you can force someone into a location for 2/3rds of their waking day you can fill their heads with whatever ideas you like.
Another law that wouldn't exist if the "mafia wives" that want the police to do their dirty work had to show up to peoples houses with a gun themselves to enforce it.
Because society deems it too important to not have.
Because denying children an education is worse than abusing them (technically speaking it is mental abuse), if you let them grow up stupid it will hurt them immensely.
Forced education is especially important in regions such as the one shown in the video.
If it wasn't forced, parents obviously wouldn't sent their kids to school in that area (and politicans would weasel out of building one, to save money and sell that to the cities where the educated voters live).
What perspectve does a kid with no education have? They certainly cannot leave and find a job elsewhere. So without education they are effectively turned into slaves of their parents or their employer.
