Eine gute Schulbildung ist die Grundlage für viele Berufe.
A good school education is the foundation for many professions.
'Schulbildung' (school education) is made up of 'Schule' (school) and 'Bildung' (education). The '-n-' is a linking element that connects the two words. So the meaning can be derived directly from its parts: education that you receive at school.
Die Schulbildung in diesem Land hat einen guten Ruf.
School education in this country has a good reputation.
Since 'Schulbildung' describes an abstract concept, the word is used almost exclusively in the singular. People talk about the level or quality of school education as a whole.
Er hat nur eine geringe Schulbildung, ist aber sehr erfolgreich.
He has only a limited school education, but he is very successful.
'Schulbildung' is often combined with adjectives such as 'gut' (good), 'hoch' (high/advanced), 'solide' (solid), or 'allgemein' (general). Typical verbs are 'erhalten' (to receive), 'genießen' (to enjoy/benefit from), or 'haben' (to have).
Alle Kinder sollten die Chance auf eine gute Schulbildung haben.

training / education
'die Ausbildung' and 'die Schulbildung' both have to do with learning and acquired knowledge. However, 'die Schulbildung' only means what you learn in school and what school-leaving qualification you have. 'die Ausbildung' often means the path into a profession, for example in a company and at a vocational school. It can also more generally mean a person's knowledge and skills. Learners may confuse the words because both belong to education. For time spent in school, you say 'Schulbildung'; for learning a profession, you usually say 'Ausbildung'.
