Education in Sid Meier's Colonization occurs when a colonist with a skill is placed on the Schoolhouse, College, or University, and there is a Petty Criminal, Indentured Servant, or Free Colonist present in the colony.
A Petty Criminal will be educated to become an Indentured Servant; an Indentured Servant can be educated to become a Free Colonist.
The number of turns required for the change to occur is decreased if the Sons of Liberty membership is 50% and further decreased at 100%. See Liberty Bell for more on Sons of Liberty membership.

Conversely, some skills can be learned by a Free Colonist spontaneously while he is performing that skill, with no teacher required. These are:
Finally, a Petty Criminal, Indentured Servant, and a Free Colonist each have a chance to be promoted to the next type from winning in combat. They must be equipped with Muskets to become Soldiers first. A Free Colonist who wins a battle has a chance to become a Veteran Soldier. George Washington increases this chance to 100%.
