good general education

My comment:

Reply from a native English speaker and experienced language trainer. People do not have 'culture' they have 'education'. The English are reluctant to say 'excellent' so 'good' or 'high standard of' is the correct expression here.

Excellent manners

My comment:

Excellent manners is the shortest, you can also go for a "word for word" Excellent general culture, but it means nothing really, although I saw some of that stuff in letters and CV's.

This translates the general idea but culturally speaking, it's very unlikely to be found on a CV or to mean the same thing to an english reader.
