Part of that is because private education there is not a thing. So some of the funds that would go to for-profit education at the expense of public schools instead goes into taxes to more efficiently fund education.

As it should be. More accessible, cheaper through consolidation, people make more and pay more taxes, and repeat.

It also prevents use of education to enforce class divisions.
