user993: I was reading the book "Daham Danum Sangrahaya 1" about facts of Buddhism written by a Buddhist monk. And it says if all the people in a region are educated it would be a problem. 
I want to know if Buddha has ever said something like that? That education could be a problem for the society.
Thanks.

user701: I haven't really come across such a remark in the suttas in Theravada. If the book doesn't refer to any sutta in the canon the monk is probably writing down his own opinion.
On the contrary, in the Mangala sutta Buddha praised learnedness when answering a question by one of the devas regarding what brings the highest blessing to a person,

[Deva:]

Many devas and human beings give thought to protection, desiring
  well-being. Tell, then, the highest protection. 

[The Buddha:] 

[..]
  Living in a civilized land,
  having made merit in the past,
  directing oneself rightly:
      This is the highest protection.
Broad knowledge, skill,
  well-mastered discipline,
  well-spoken words:
      This is the highest protection.
  Support for one's parents,
  assistance to one's wife and children,
  consistency in one's work:
      This is the highest protection
[..]
Mangala sutta [Thanissaro Bhikkhu Trans]


user2282: It's important to read the full context of what that teacher said. Also, if someone simply says: "The Buddha said this or that", then that's not good enough. He'll need to provide backup sutras/suttas references. For example, in the suttas education is very important:

"Friend, the Blessed One has described you as being endowed with seven amazing, astounding qualities. Which seven? 'Hatthaka of Alavi is endowed with conviction. He is virtuous. He has a sense of conscience. He has a sense of concern. He is learned. He is generous. He is discerning.' Friend, the Blessed One has described you as being endowed with these seven amazing, astounding qualities." ~ AN 8.23 ~
"Even so, he who is experienced and has a well-trained mind, who is learned and dependable, 2 clearly knowing, he can help others to understand who are willing to listen and ready to receive" ~ Sn 2.8 ~
