Education is highly individualistic - that is why everyone receives a person credential or grade, even if there are can be group assignments that are part of the qualification.
But we never live or work alone - we are in a constant interaction with those around us, hopefully in supportive ways that help each of us thrive. So why the emphasis on developing "each individual's" knowledge, skills, attitudes, etc? (This is the language used in education, because education is seen as something done to discrete individuals).
Whatever capabilities we may wish* to inculcate, it is sufficient - and far less troublesome - to inculcate it within a community. That is how we make use of education in our lives (including but not limited to employment), why should the way we implement education be any different?
* Ideally this is to wish for ourselves, because to wish for others is a slipper slope to coercion, unless we are very careful to keep it as an invitation or offer, not a demand (which is what it means when people say "we have to educate those people about...")
