They are amazing, and literally each book is better than that the one before it. Which was weird, but kinda cool.

I dont know of a statement that was directed at the entire Council specifically. But Harry had made it a point of making sure molly was comfortable with elements even if she wasnt talented at them (it resulted in the blowdryer spell used in SmF) and in Changes Harry mentioned a similar circumstance were "Ebenezar had insisted that I learn at least one very useful, if enormously taxing, spell with earth magic." But it's possible that this is their mentality but not the COuncil's as a whole.
The only thing I can recall that was actually stated to be standard education was in DB when they said nearly every apprentices first textbook is McCoy's:
--- Quote from: DB Ch 7 ---There were very few volumes that addressed magic in its most elemental sense, as a pure source of energy, the way I'd been taught about it. One of the notable exceptions was Elementary Magic by Ebenezar McCoy. It was the first book most wizards ever handed an apprentice. It dealt with the nuts and bolts of moving energy around, and stressed the need for control and responsibility on behalf of the wizard.

You're right. Other teachers may not require that broad of an education. But it's a good idea.
