PURPOSE OF FORMAL EDUCATION

I conclude that the purpose of formal education is to help individuals live free and independent lives so they can do what they want, when they want, how they want and wake up and work when they want as Mark Cuban and Layan Bubbly would say.  What type of education helps individuals achieve such freedom?  Do you agree with my conclusion or is the purpose of education and learning something else?  Also we live in the information age with waves of information washing over us and constantly shifting.  How do you know if what you read, hear, watch or see is reliable? Please answer these questions and explain your answers.  Also quote from the YouTube videos bellow.
