Strongly agree. There are people who attend universities and colleges and get degrees, but all they have is a diploma, not necessarily the education to back it up. Tons of students do not learn much while at the university, whether by their own choice, the negligence of their professors, or due to the flaws in the system of education. Our higher education is predominantly theoretical, so a lot of it is not applicable to specific life situations.
On the other hand, if a person is really seeking knowledge and the right to call him/herself educated, the desire to obtain the knowledge would make all the difference. Self-education can be extremely effective, as well as hands-on experience, and some of the most educated people I have ever met were constantly working on educating themselves and thus achieved their admirable level of knowledge.
Now if you mean education not as in "formal education" but as in "manners," that would be a totally different story.
