No, you have paid for an element of your child's education. I sincerely doubt your tax contributions will fully cover the costs when you factor in that only a small part of your tax contributions will be going to education. How about if you need medical treatment that costs more than the NI contributions that you have made? Are you going to top that up with your own money? I strongly suspect the answer is no.
