What do we mean when we say a noun is countable or not countable? Very simply, it means whether we can count it or not. For example:
Book is a countable noun because you can say one book, two books, three books, etc.
Education is not a countable noun because you cannot say one education, two educations, three educations.
As you can probably see, you cannot pluralize a noun that is uncountable:
He has received lots of educations. (Incorrect)
He has received a lot of education. (Correct)
