教 combines 孝 (which here likely represents a child learning from an elder) with 攵 (a hand holding a stick, suggesting instruction or discipline). Together they express the idea of teaching or imparting doctrine.
On the left, 孝 suggests a child receiving guidance; on the right, 攵 shows a hand with a stick, like a teacher pointing at a board. Together they mean teach or doctrine.
For キョウ, imagine a teacher in Kyoto (京都, きょうと) using a stick to point at a lesson: Kyoto -> キョウ, and the scene is all about teaching.
