I'm not sure exactly what your question is here.

If you're following the video, the first CSS declaration you have ( #education{border:3px solid red;} ) will create a red border around the section that has id="education". Your second declaration ( education{border:3px solid red;} ) will not display anything on the page because there is no element with the name "education". If you're seeing the border on your page, it is because you haven't refreshed your page, or your browser still has the id declaration in cache.

If this did not answer your question, please reply with more specifics, and I'll try to address your concern.
