Education is central to Judaism. The fundamental commandment comes from the most important Jewish prayer, the Shema (pronounced "sheh-mah"), found in Deuteronomy 6:4-9, where one of the commandments is that the opening part of the prayer "Hear O Israel, the Lord our God the Lord is One - Let his glorious name be praised forever and ever" is to be taught "diligently to your children". And teaching the prayer was interpreted as teaching all of the Torah.
