I do remember the Lore Panel saying that the majority of Eorzea is illiterate, so yes, I think education is mostly vocational and focused on practice, teaching father-to-son, mother-to-daughter and where the offsprings will generally take up the same trade as their parents. I could see the richest hiring tutors for their children, though. I RP an upper-class Ul'dahn lady who has her child educated by a full-time mentor who lives in their quarters with his family, like servants lived at their lord's place in the past, in more humble buildings placed within the holding.
As for the Ossuary, I believe their main duty in Ul'dahn society is take on the rituals of burial (I could be wrong, it's been a while since I did my THM research in 2013), so I don't know about education that goes past that field of teaching. Last year I did try to launch a series of mentorship mini-events located at each guilds, with RPers taking the part of teachers and others taking the part of students. It lasted for a month or so, but then it faded back down because apparently the classes weren't attended much. It's a shame, because I think that school is a great way to socialize and build bonds, since you are forced to spend one or two hours with the same people almost every day.

To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
"What makes a strong character is how they deal with their flaws, their fears, their turmoils, their troubles that get in the way. That's what makes them relatable." -- N.C.
