If you can afford higher education that means you are likely a member of the bourgeoise to begin with. Most societies in history created schemes to gatekeep education from commoners and people deemed risky towards the ruling class. I think rising literacy rates played a big role in socialism's emergence in the 20th century, up until reactionary and capitalist nations became aware of the "threat" and began gearing themselves specifically towards anti-communism.
