An education doesn't just benefit the one getting the education. The entire society benefits.

Educated people are crucial to successfull companies, thereby creating more jobs.

Educated people are crucial to a healthy democracy, where populist politicians have less chance of getting elected.

I would argue that it's probably more important for the entire society for someone to get a good education than for the person himself. Therefor education should be subsidized.
