I think you're being a bit paranoid actually. Swap the word train for 'teach', and then substitute primary purpose for 'goal' and you've got the exact same meaning with a softer approach.
Perhaps it does look 'militant' to use your word, but on the other hand, perhaps it was written by someone who takes the social responsibilities of education very seriously.
