They got their education by secretly learning it if their master didn't allowed because it was illegal. Sometimes, their masters tought the slave even though it was against the law. By secretly learning it, they could learn it off another slave or steal a book and educate themselves.

Some however were educated so to better run different parts of the plantations. Slaves that took stock of the plantations resources had to be able to do basic arithmetic.
