What does it mean to be educated?

Education is more than just passing tests in high school and college. I think education means learning and applying the information that you have learned. In high school, education was measured by standardized tests. However, I do not think that this is a true measure of education because many teachers taught students only what they needed to know to pass the tests. I think there are many different definitions of education. For many states across the country, education means being able to pass a standardized test. However, many employers want people who have completed high school as well as college. The employers base education on where you went to college and the degree that you earned.
