What is the benefits of a well-educated citizenry on the community?

A well-educated citizenry is extremely beneficial for any community. Educated people are less likely to commit crimes (creating lower crime rates) and are generally more healthy than those who have less education. Also, educated citizens are more likely to have jobs and are therefore less likely to draw on social services that are costly to the community. If a community educates its citizens and the citizens have jobs, communities can also benefit from increased tax revenue from the working class. Lastly, education can create a community of thoughtful citizens who are active and well-informed in political matters, and are therefore more prepared to make educated decisions.
