I just read a post on romance section and it got me wondering if a school cert holder can be said to be educated .

/
YES!

Education has to do with learning that's why it is divided into formal (structured school) and informal (others).

However, Nigerians are known to misuse the term just as much as they misuse "illiterate--inability to read or write"

/

Yes,
And there's a difference between Being Educated and Being Certified.

One speaks louder on the long run, than the other.

What is this Education of a thing self. You go school, I stay house read. I com even sabi book pass you wey go school, so who's educated. Some people wey no dey educated for school don hammer, you wey be professor still dey sell handouts to survive, yet still dey claim educated.

TradingGod:
what about the govenors like yahaya bello of kogi state and professor ben ayade of cross river state?

yahaya, was imposed on kogi people same as hope uzodinmma, and some degrees are bought, with money.

You see this country, juat forget, about this country and focus on your hustle. This country can't get better.

Guyman01:
I feel ashamed when I saw the kind of very poor sentences from some of my course mates in the higher institution, they couldn't write a simple report that made sense, meanwhile, some of my classmates in secondary school published books without getting any higher education, I see these ones as educated and some of my course mates as school attendees, we have a WhatsApp group and they will never comment because they can't put words together without errors and some of them occupy positions in civil service

😋
Did you attend college of education?

Education is not in a certificate, it is what you have upstairs and what is occupying your brain ROM.

Why not I have ask my self if I did not go to d university will I still be enlightened as I am...yes of course knowledge, education can be gotten outside the 4 walls of d university.
Just be versatile lay your hands on books on diverse disciplines read & comprehend:science,engineering,laws, technology,literatures, religion etc

I'm surprised that no one talked about the three level of education.

The primary level of education is when a person completes primary school but didn't progress to secondary school.

Secondary level of education is when one finishes from secondary school but didn't progress to the higher institution

And tertiary level of education is one who finished from the higher institution

Yes. Education is in your thoughts, words and deeds not on a piece of paper. If you need an example, study the life of Srinivasa Ramanujan.

Ability to comprehend is also a feature of education.

No where in my post did I saw both are the only features.

Before you can think of other features, you must have acquired these 2 first.

You wrote that they are BASIC features... They are basic features of formal education.



An illiterate can be regarded as educated.




An illiterate farmer can tend his farm better than a formally educated person who has never been on a farm.




My great grandfather was a surgeon before colonialism. He was illiterate (could not read and write), but educated in medicine. He knew herbs like the back of his hands.





When the colonialists came, the ones in my village relied on my great grand father's knowledge of herbal medicine.

What's the argument on again?

Literacy is not a basic feature of education.



It is a basic feature of formal education. But education is more than just formal education.

Can you marry a secondary school graduate? uote author=Beverlyjean post=127273826]Absolutely.... University or college( usa) is basically for careers preparation

Another mistake Nigerians make, is thinking that graduates are only those that completed university education... a person that completed secondary school education is also a graduate [/quote]

Why not?? If he speaks eloquently, looks good , smart and polished and then has a thriving business

Read within context

The OP is talking about formal education.

Not talking about general education.

Again, comprehension is a big part of education.

You keep repeating that comprehension is a big part of education. This, yet again, is another of your many fallacies. You have a lot to learn.

I think being "educated" goes beyond certificates; it’s about knowledge, skills, and critical thinking. A secondary school certificate is a start, but learning never stops.

I totally agree that getting an education is more than just having a certificate. It's about the knowledge and skills you gain along the way. Like, when I was applying for a scholarship, I realized how important it is to express myself clearly, especially in an essay. Then I found that services like https://edubirdie.com/scholarship-essay-writing-service are very useful for writing scholarship essays. They make sure that your thoughts are well organized, which is also part of being educated. So, yes, a high school diploma is just the beginning; what matters is what you do with your knowledge.
