[Vision2020] What was education like before the Prussian method of indoctrination?

"Without public education, we might as well set our clocks back 300 years and
restrict education to only those that can afford it." Tom-Tom Hansen.
 
I don't think that the education in the Colonies 300 years ago was only for the "well off". If that were the case then why was there a 98% literacy rate back then?
