In the song, "Another brick on the wall", I hear that the singer says "Education" in a different way that my teachers had taught me.
It sounds "Ejootcation" in the song... is it a style of speaking, a bad pronunciation, a regional accent or, simply, I'm hearing too bad?
It happens frequently when I hear movies, the same word is said too different from a dialog to another... please help me to understand that. Thanks!

In English, usually native speakers pronounce the letter "d" in different ways in different contexts. When it's followed by a "u", it often sounds as though the "d" becomes a "j" because of the nature of the pronunciation of the vowel. So, yes, he is actually saying "edjucation", you are hearing correctly, but it is also an accent. Some people might say it "properly" but I've never heard it.

Pink Floyd is a British band. That's just the accent. That, and its a song, words are often pronounced differently when someone is singing rather than when they are talking.

That's just the way some people speak here in London. Pink Floyd pronounce things like that quite a lot.

I think it is just a regional British accent.
