The reality is that while some JWs do get an eduction, they aren't in the norm and tend to fall into two categories

  • they're already viewed as "spiritually weak"
  • they come from a "powerful" JW family

JW elders who encourage their children to go to college/university and who advise others to do the same will likely be removed as an elder. This was taught at the last elders' meeting I attended with the Circuit Overseer.The WT Society is afraid of educated people who will be able to rationally see through flawed logic of their teachings.
