We could also drop school altogether and just make sure every kid has an LLM-connected device that's voice driven. They wouldn't even need to learn to read and write -- that's old school.
update: this would make universal education free! because MegaCorp would happily give/support the devices free of charge (in exchange for ads being inserted into the responses)
If we actually manage to create superintelligence that makes human mental labor unable to compete economically, can you give me a reason that humans should value education? I personally think there's some inherent fun in learning, but that's not a reason to impose my hobby on everyone.
I think we're working very hard to build a world where there's no real reason for education.

I don't know who you mean by "we", certainly not "me". But yes, the MegaCorps are indeed working hard on this, because they want to be the ones to provide the devices. And governments would be happy too so long as they're aligned with MegaCorp because it solves the "citizens' access to much information results in critical thinking that might be critical of us" problem -- a problem China solved with their GFW and censorship.
"we" as in this society.
