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.
In elementary for instance, teachers do their work but some parents are not very participative in doing their responsibilities. Instead, they give all the tasks in educating their children on the hands of teachers. I hope parents take their responsibilities in rearing and educating their children seriously and religiously.
