Morphology
The meaning 'a central place where educational activities and resources are concentrated' is directly and transparently derived from 'hub' (focal point) + 'for' (indicating purpose) + 'learning' (acquiring knowledge). The pattern 'hub for X' is a regular compositional construction and is cross-linguistically familiar, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words should be able to infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Hub for learning comes from the picture of a wheel's hub, the center where many paths meet and hold the wheel together. So a 'hub for learning' means a 'central place' where learning activities, teachers, and resources come together.
