Best Answer

The objective of universal education became an early goal in the Jewish culture

exactly because the Torah is to be accessible to everyone, beginning from roughly

age five or six.

It's the father's job to teach his children, or to arrange and provide for their education,

but neither the father nor the grandfather has any exclusive responsibility as the

reader or studier in the family.
