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.
GEtting an educations means that you just have more tools than what other kight have if they did not graduate or studied. HOwever it is no use if you dont know hot to utilize them and thats where other can be more literste than you and that is something we must remember and pinder on
