what is the role of education in human capital formation?

Human capital refers to the stock of skill and productive knowledge embodied in a population. Proper education and training enable the formation of this human capital. An educated population is an asset, a resource. In contrast to the uneducated and untrained, educated individuals make efficient use of the available resources and opportunities. Education and skill are the major determinants of the earning of any individual in the market. Education enhances the quantity and quality of individual productivity, which in turn adds to the growth of the economy. Aware of the benefits of education, educated persons help in its perpetuation. The advantages of an educated population spread to even those who themselves are not educated. Hence, educated people benefit the society as a whole. Thus, education plays the role of a catalyst in transforming a human being into a positive asset and a precious national resource.

 Three basics in economics are Land, Labor and Capital.

Education is in part a result of your labor, effort to get educated, and learn new skills. 
Once you have the skills and knowledge, they become part of your personal "capital" to invest in future development, growth, advancement.

"... education provides a way for individuals to sort themselves by ability. Employers in turn use education to statistically discriminate, paying wages that reflect the average productivity of workers with the same given level of education. 
...that education (specifically, attending college) plays a much more direct role in revealing ability to the 
labour market..
....that ability is observed nearly perfectly for college graduates but is revealed to the labor market much more gradually for high school graduates."
