Well, unfortunately the EEA regulations does not provide for residency for the wife of a dependant family member of an EEA national.

I cannot comment on that, even if i can, it will not be appropriate for this section of the forum. You spouse will need to apply for a genuine course, which she intends to pursue, and meets the tier 4 criteria, then she may be issued an Entry Clearance.
It is important to stress that such Entry Clearance will not be for her to come and join you, but to pursue a genuine course, subject to her meeting the English Language, Maintenance and Accommodation requirements, of course.
