First, let's define "educated workforce." The Industrial Revolution occurred mainly in the the early to mid 1800s. It involved people moving from rural areas into bigger cities, and learning to use machinery in factories. But back then, few if any people attended college (this was something only the most upper-class elites did), and in fact, not that many attended high school.
What factory owners, who were the main employers, wanted was people who could at least read and write at a basic level; but more importantly, they sought people who were reliable, and people who knew how to use the many new (and complicated) machines. There was no expectation that the workforce would have degrees, but there was certainly an expectation that the workers would learn their jobs well, by mastering the new ways of manufacturing; this would enable them to make a good product.

It was difficult for the poor during the Industrial Revolution because many jobs were lost to new technologies like farming equipment and machines. Later, as the people became more educated in the use of these machines, the poor were able to find work.
The Industrial Revolution facilitated the growth of the middle class by creating new job opportunities in factories and industries, which attracted a workforce seeking stable employment and higher wages. As production increased, so did the demand for skilled workers, managers, and clerical positions, allowing many to achieve a higher standard of living. Additionally, urbanization and increased access to education contributed to the rise of a more educated and economically independent middle class. Overall, the shift from agrarian economies to industrialized economies fostered social mobility and economic diversification, crucial for the expansion of the middle class.

The point of school to is to prepare and educate children into their youth so they can excel in their society and in the world; an educated workforce is a more competitive workforce. School teaches both general reading/math skills, along with other more specialized courses. Most industrial societies around the world have schooling in varying degrees.
