It's hard to say; "Confucian China" - that is, the age in which Confucianism played a culturally significant role in the society = spans a couple millenia. The range of educational institutions and levels of education span as broadly as the number of kingdoms and dynasties.
"Women and Confucian cultures in premodern China, Korea, and Japan" (p. 137) comments that during the Qingli era (1041 - 48), schools were very prevalent, but not only formal, government-run schools in metropolitan areas, but also smaller, informal "back-street" schools throughout rural areas and villages. The "confucian method" was still the same - recitation and study, but in less formal arrangements: "family schools, study centres, and reading groups."
