It is part of the perfection of a person’s iman that he desires for others what he desires for himself. Nabi صلى الله عليه وسلم has mentioned:
 
لا يومن احدكم حتى يحب لاخيه ما يحب لنفسه (متفق عليه)
None can have perfect iman unless he desires for his brother that which he desires for himself. (Bukhari, Muslim)
 
However, you should bear in mind that secular education is just a means of income and its benefits are until this world. You should not be overwhelmed with any worldly benefit and give preference to it over Deeni and religious benefits. More important than secular education is Deeni education which is a means to obey Allah Ta’ala and its benefits are beyond this world.
 
And Allah knows best
