Because they become members in society and live as members of society, and give and take to society. Them having an education is what is best for society whether they choose to use it of not, it is a tool that everyone should have, whether or not they use that tool.
Education helps later in life, therefore whether or not they obtain it is of no use or hurt to the parents, so they have little motivation other than pride. When it is everyone that will benefit from that person's education, than everybody should be making a small contribution to make sure it happens.
