From whom did Moses receive his education in Egypt?

Moses received his education in Egypt from the idolatrous mythological priests of Egypt. He was saturated with all the idolatrous doctrines and worship of the Egyptians. After being weaned, he went from his mother's care into Pharaoh's palace and was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians.

Les explains that just as a young lad in Tibet must be educated under the priests, Moses in Egypt received his education from Egypt's idolatrous mythological priests. He was saturated with Egyptian idolatrous doctrines and worship. Moses was in his mother's care only until he was weaned, then went into Pharaoh's palace under that influence. Acts 7:22 says he was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, mighty in words and deeds, and this was when he was 40 years old. He had been 35 years away from his kinfolk. Hebrews says faith prompted him to choose the Hebrews rather than Egypt, and faith comes from a word; the context suggests his first five years with his mother and father may have given him that word, since Middle Eastern mothers often did not wean children until five or six years old.
