Indeed. And I am not against public education, but rather the arrangement of public education in a capitalist (or any class-based social organization) society and the aims it serves in such a society. If socialism prevails, public schooling doesn't stop. But its social arrangements, purposes, and entire context change drastically from what it is now, just as it did from feudal society to modern bourgeois society.
Also keep in mind I don't necessarily agree with everything written in The Manifesto word for word, even if I agree with the fundamentals (Historical Materialism, class struggles, etc) of what it conveys. There are parts of it that even they admitted were outdated or no longer plausible or of interest to the proletariats cause, and have thus been rejected or updated since. Public education isn't one of those things, but the implementation of a central bank for instance, is.
