Don't you think business has a legitimate right to take an interest in
education? After all it puts up a lot of the money to make it happen.

Every*one* (i.e. every individual) has a duty to take an interest in
education. I don't think that *business* (i.e. profit-making) has any
right or stake in education whatsoever. The purpose of education should
be to educate people, and that is it. If that suits business's purposes,
well, lucky business; if not, tough luck.

As an employer, I want educated applicants because without them the
business will die and the people working here will then be out of work and
not paying taxes. If replicated nationwide the education system will
collapse because there will be no national wealth to pay for it.

Simply not true.
