I am educated in law.

Is the structure of the sentence okay? Does it sound natural?

Thanks in advance.
Is the structure of the sentence okay?
No - it is ambiguous. I am not sure what it means.
Does it sound natural?
No. Not at all.

MNHID, you must give some context. Who is saying this? To whom are they saying it? What, exactly, do they mean to say?
No - it is ambiguous. I am not sure what it means.

No. Not at all.

I am afraid I am not able to provide more contexts in this regard.
How would I answer if someone asks me, 'Tell me about your education qualification'? And I just want to keep it simple answering that.
'Tell me about your education qualification'?
A natural answer to that question? "I don't have one, but my mother was a qualified teacher."

Talking about studying law has no connection with a qualification relevant to education. Now you know why PaulQ wanted you to explain the intended meaning of the question.
The problem, MNHID, as you can see, is that in some contexts the word "education" is itself a subject. If you want to become a physics teacher, for example, you need to obtain a qualification in education, in addition to your qualification in physics.
In essence, it is not enough to know the subject that you want to teach, but you also need to learn how to teach.

What you apparently wanted the question to be is something like "Tell me about education. Do you have any qualifications?"
An obvious answer to might be "I have a bachelor's degree in law from Glasgow University."
