Now a days literacy is considered as education. But there is great difference between being educated and literate. " True purpose of education is to make minds not careers". Yes that's true. Reading books, clearing exams and getting degrees and jobs does not make us educated. That make us literate only. Being educated means being mature enough to deal with life. Being educated means enlightening our life and others also. Education gives us the purpose of life. Education is power to understand the facts behind each and every thing that happens. Education is about distinguished between good and bad. It is about being kind, genuine, honest, understanding, and polite, humble, helping and good characterized person. The power to make a decision for betterment always and use of analytical skills for a good decision taking makes us educated. "So don't only be literate... Be Educated..!!" All what i have written above is my prospective. What do you people think about it? What is more important education or literacy..???

Well yes..literacy is more a social standing... and education is something that should never stop as long as we live. There is always more to know and understand in life... no-one knows everything. So no-one is technically 100% educated.

Unfortunately, most fo the people call them as educated in India which is as per your definition does not include in its sphere not even a single India as most of they are totally lead a savage life without any Culture The recent Bengaluru New Year Party is a glaring example of the Indias uneducatedness.
