I don't think there is a single way that education could have been more diverse in the Middle Ages than it is today.

Today there are hundreds of fields of study in the universities; in those days, there were very few.

Today there are even multiple fields of study at elementary school level; in those days, it was three of the three R's, if you were lucky.

To add to that, Mediaeval school education was available only to those who could afford it, and of very low quality, by rote, irrespective of understanding. It taught basic reading, writing and very simple arithmetic, though most people then did not need more anyway, but the main subject was Latin because religious, legal and learned texts were mainly in Latin. The early universities were not much better.
