Whats the point of learning how to write an essay these days, when AI can do a better one in five seconds?
It shows you have understanding of a subject.

Also, with regard AI, no-one really has an idea of which direction this will go, so it's going to be very difficult to plan for.

I could talk a lot about education. The basics are missing from so many youngsters because they are not taught in Primary school. We have spent too much time pushing core subjects and introducing too many useless compulsory GCSEs, denying kids more opportunities to take subjects that interest them. Music is my area with education - it's been proved beyond any doubt that music and the arts can play a huge part in a person's overall education. I find that most people who have issues with education don't really know much about it. Things that some people believe should be done or vice versa means bugger all without some sort of educated opinion and knowledge of how things are. Leaving things like education to the general public would be a huge cock up.
