Essays / What is the importance of education (the fall in the number of University applicants) [5]
One point you can expand on: Education is a vehicle for social mobility.
While prejudice still exists... in the 21st century you have a better chance of moving up the social ladder if you have a good education. In the US there's often affirmative action and additional aid to students who come from disadvantaged situations. If you really study and prove that you want to make a difference in the world, an education will take you places.
Or you can talk about education more in the general sense.. like 'knowledge.' It's always good to aim to understand more things, educated people are the key to progress, the more you know the more informed your decisions are, etc.
I hope that gives you some ideas!
