So you're saying only the Salafis are educated?

Egyptians as a whole are amongst the most educated people in the Arab world if not the entire world.They even have 1 or two Noble prizes under their belts, every year they produce thousands of doctors, engineers, lawyers, etc etc. Compare that with Salafi Saudiarabia...despite being a super rich country with billions to pour into the education sector....produces nothing. Their education system is deplorable and their youth amount to nothing. I have studied with egyptians and almost every single one of my classmates was highly intelligent. I was amazed. They will never accept Salafis to rule them, even the practising amongst them is averse to these sorts of people.Their way is a moderate rational one like Amr Khaled etc.

but returning back to your point if even the salafis of Egypt are this educated what about the masses? you shouldn't look at it in isolation, but see these salafis {especially in relation to their fellow salafis across the sea } as a product of their environment.An environment were there are great educational opportunities, where education is not only pursued but valued.
