Does achieving a degree means that you have become a civilized and educated human being? I don't think so. Getting knowledge won't make you an educated person. The most common example of illiteracy by educated people is when there is littering iin educational institutes and illiterate people are hired to clean the mess. cramming your course books won't bring wisdom, it will only bring knowledge without enlightenment.

Absolutely agree.
Can add, that any knoledge is nothinh without practice and experience.
So if you were a golden boy in school doesn't mean that you are smart.

Graduation does not make a person educated, to be educated means educating mind and behavior. Degrees cannot shape our personality but manners can shape our personality. If you are unable to treat others well so cannot called yourself educated. Books cannot teach us wisdom its our experience which educate us morally.
