Two years ago, I attended my elementary reunion where I was able to meet some of my former classmates. Two cases, however, interested me. The first case is of a student who emerged the first in that year’s final examination. In our class, she was the hardworking student who used to read and write all the given assignments and teachers’ notes. However, she could not read any other material outside classwork especially newspapers and magazines. After elementary school, she joined the best high school, her brilliance in class continued to shine, and now she was a renowned pediatrician. Nevertheless, one thing I was quick to note is that she could not take part in any conversation on the world’s economy and the influence that the U.S. has on the same. The second case was of an average performer who did not memorize all the information in his textbooks and exercise books but was well conversant with most of the world history, current affairs, and sports among others. He passed with a grade slightly above average and joined a less prestigious high school. Now he is a publisher with one of the best publishing companies in America and can discuss any topic, from science through politics and economics to childcare. These two cases left me in a dilemma of deciding who between the two passes for a well-educated person. If I were to decide that the first case is the best illustration of a well-educated person, then being well educated would mean a person who lacks anything else in life but can perform the best in what she set her/his goals to achieve through education. This description matches that of Kohn where he describes his wife and asks himself,” Or does she offer an invitation to rethink what it means to be well-educated since what she lacks hasn’t prevented her from being a deep-thinking, high-functioning, multiply credentialed, a professionally successful individual?”(Kohn, 2003, p. 345). What becomes of you after acquiring an education reflects whether you are well educated or not. Being the best engineer can be used to classify you as a well-educated person even though you do not have the slightest idea of the basics of correct grammar. The second case illustrates a knowledgeable person in diverse fields of study. He did not score the highest grades in his school life but he can contribute wisely to any topic that arises. If the earlier criterion were used to rank a well-educated person, does it mean that he would not fit in this group? The definition of a well-educated person cannot be universal. I tend to think that it should not follow certain protocols such as passing all the standard tests or attending the schools that rank best in your country or even in the world. Instead, should conform to that what comes up with an all-rounded person. Poor judgment has led us to the conclusion that a well-educated person is that who is intellectually equipped. This is wrong because good education and poor education should be based on intellectual, physical, and emotional foundations among others (Mohanan, 2005, p. 43). The bias on the understanding of this concept leans so much on the intellectual side that all other values that a well-educated person
