No, this is not universal. There are parents who had a bad experience of education and think that is universal, and those who fear that their children will move away if they become educated. It's one of the challenges of teaching in particular areas.

Do you mean "a bad experience of education" or do you mean "a bad experience of school"?

If its the former could you expand on that, like they learnt to read and it messed their life up?

I understand the selfish desire to keep children near, no need to go in to that.
