First off no, the church isn't against education. In fact if they were, BYU wouldn't exist and the prophets and leaders would advise against young people going to college. That doesn't happen. Also, the church isn't against rich people. If they were, than the church would set a salary cap and anyone making more money than a set limit would not be allowed in the building. That doesn't happen either.
To me, this passage is talking more about pride. It's fine to rich, it's fine to be educated. The moment it becomes sinful is when you think your riches or education make you a better person than someone who doesn't have your level of success or your level of education. To those people putting pride above anything else, than He might not be able to enter them.
