What about the kind of education one gets in modern schools? In addition to reading, writing and arithmetic, there is a smattering of literature, history, art, music, soft and hard sciences. If you wanted to reflect all this with points in skills, you probably overrate the usefulness of, say, high-school chemistry. I think this "background information" is (a) the reason why there are defaults for most skills and (b) a justification to GURPSify a formal education as points in IQ rather than points in separate skills.
