Well according to the advanced learners dictionary, it describes an educated person as someone who has a very high standard of learning, while the Oxford dictionary states that an educated person is someone that have been to a school, be it primary, secondary or tertiary, we all know that education plays an important role in the forum, cause one ought to know how to read and write properly to be able to participate in the activities going on here.
However in my understanding asides from knowing how to read and write, which describes someone educated, i think an educated person can also be described as someone that can set defenses around themselves against the world, most of us here come from or lives in areas that's insecured. Therefore based on their intelligence they should be able to strategize how to protect themselves and keep themselves from getting into danger, an illiterate might be physically strong but might lack the basic understanding of how to survive, but it takes someone educated to study their surroundings and figure out how to safeguard themselves from being harmed. The insecurity in our country is getting out of hand, and in this new year we all need to be very strategic on how to survive. Everyone needs to be on guard, cause that's part of what makes us educated.
Educated person Na person wey done get knowledge, skills through formal education wey we dey go school for, some persons dey acquire education through Self study and life experiences, no be only person wey go school be educated person, you fit go school and you no get education, most life experiences and self study fit give h education, I know people wey done stay house read come enroll for WAEC write am pass,so education goes beyond school, it's actually improving urself anyhow you fit do am, as we dey for this forum wey dey learn,most things wey know here today dem no teach us for school, that's education broh.
