Education, while extremely important to the United States, is not explicitly mentioned. The line about securing blessings is mentioned in regard to liberty. This is the text to the Preamble:

We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
