Why Do We Have Schools? Education in our society serves many purposes, but there are three main functions. First, students learn skills that will help prepare them for society. Writing, reading, and mathematics are essential in today's workplace and many people learn these skills in school. Second, schools serve communities. Whether by runctioning as polling locations during elections, or providing safe havens for students in temporary living situations, public schools add value to communities.
