It really depends on how you define 'education'. Do you mean practice, or private tutoring, or group tutoring?
The best tutoring will be private, as you can have a good 1-on-1 session with your tutor and hopefully learn quite fast; I started with group lessons first though; you can learn the basics there and then pay more for private lessons when you move onto more advanced stuff.
You will need at least 1 private session a week. 1 group is also fine if you're starting out.
Then, when you get more advanced, start increasing the amount of tutoring you have, and start attending practice sessions on your own at the ice rink to consolidate what you've learned.
When you're getting better, it can even add up to 10 hours a week. I know an international figure skater when spends roughly 14 hours a week skating! She misses some school, but this is slightly drastic. You can be good without going to international level. (:
Remember, this doesn't come without a high price and a lot of devotion to the sport! I will definitely suggest off-ice practice, or even Ballet classes just to increase flexibilty gradually for when you will need it.
Google 'beillman spiral', and you'll see what I mean when I say that you'll need flexibility! (I practiced the splits for 4 months, 3 times a day, and I can now do it! This helps the beillman, which I can also now do.)
Hope this helped. (:
