Yes, education is mostly a product of culture. Just look at the Jewish people.
Universal compulsory education is a collective affirmation of the value of education in a society, and the extent to which schooling is “taken seriously” is a reflection of how deeply the society embraces this value.

To add on to your mention of cultural aspects. It was the cultural shared experience amongst the citizenry that Adam Smith argued was why public education was so important.
