Morphology
The noun phrase is directly compositional: 'education' (formal learning) combined with 'reform' (a process or plan to improve) clearly yields 'changes to the education system to improve it.' This is a common, cross-linguistically attested pattern (e.g., Spanish 'reforma educativa'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the meaning.
Etymology
Education reform comes from the image of fixing a school: education means school and learning, and reform means to change something to 'make it better'. That's why education reform means making changes to the education system to help it work better.
