Does God want us to be very well educated? I know in the muslim faith they think they need to be well educated, is it the same for us Catholics?

it is the duty of Christian parents to educate their children in the faith, and to educate them to fulfill the duties of their state in life. Is that what you mean? Does that mean parents are obligated to fully fund college and post graduate education. No.Does God want us to be very well educated? I know in the muslim faith they think they need to be well educated, is it the same for us Catholics?

There are many angles to this one.
Eph 6:4 tells of the obligation of parents to educate their children on the faith: “…bring them up in the training an instruction of the Lord”.
In Romans 12:2, Paul tells of the focus our learning: “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is - His good, pleasing and perfect will.”. CCC 1783-85 tells us of the proper formation of conscience: *“The education of conscience is indispensable for human beings who are subjected to negative influences…[it] is a lifelong task”.

We’ve all seen the egotistical elite, men and women who have educated themselves into utter stupidity about faith in God. Their intelligence is above belief in God.
In general, the more education a person has, the less likely they are to have a family of their own. Children are seen as a financial liability, something to be avoided at all cost.
