JSONObject jsonResult = new JSONObject(jsonUser);
JSONArray data = jsonResult.getJSONArray("education");
 if(data != null) 
    {
     for(int i = 0 ; i < data.length() ; i++) 
        {
            JSONObject c = data.getJSONObject(i);
            String type = c.getString("type");
            if(type.equalsIgnoreCase("college"))
                {

                    JSONObject school = c.getJSONObject("school");
                    String id2 = school.getString("id");
                    String name2 = school.getString("name");


                    JSONObject year = c.getJSONObject("year");
                    String id_y = school.getString("id");
                    String name_y = school.getString("name");

                }                       


        }
    }

Supposing that you've this json into a jsonObject that you retrieve as response, this is the way:

// Get jsonArray 'education' from main jsonObject
JSONArray jsonArrayEducation = jsonObject.getJSONArray("education");
JSONObject jsonSchool = jsonArrayEducation.getJSONObject("school");

Note that if you are interested only at the name, you can group the two lines above into

JSONObject jsonSchool = jsonObject.getJSONArray("education").getJSONObject("school");

// get school name
String schoolName = jsonSchool.getString("name");
