"The educational scheme or course established by Mr. Wopsle's great-aunt may be resolved into the following synopsis" (Dickens, 71).
Because of Pip's standing in society, he hasn't had the chance to have a formal education. Every member of the upper class is armed with simple education, whether the person is female or male. By getting a proper education, Pip is closing the gap between him and the upper class.

but what does Dickens suggest about the nature of some formal education? think about the educators in the novel - are there good ones? bad ones?
