No, religion and education aren't innately at odds. If anything, it's our time period when fundamentalism has become a giant sensationalist story that they're at odds. Monks in the previous centuries allowed information to be retained, and Islamic mathematicians furthered their respective fields before the west. They never saw "secular" education as an opposition to religion.
The idea that fundamentalism represents the entirety of religion overshadows the very real moderate religious who have no bone to pick, for the most part, with science or education.
