Education meant so much to the freedmen because they are having it for the first time. When they were in captivity, they were not taught how to read or write. Because of them going to school, they have a chance. This allows them to communicate and then later get a job. Freedom the the freedmen meant that they could go to school. This is why education meant so much to the freedmen.
The Freedmen's Bureau did its best to integrate Freedmen into the US society. Education was one plan to do this, however, often farming, a skill learned in bondage allowed them to work on farmlands without obtaining any formal education.
