What does baja de educacion mean?

Question

Hello my friends, can someone help me understand what "baja de educacion" is? I'm really baffled with this one, thanks

Answer 1

"Educado" does not refer to ones academic learning,but to his/her social performance. The meaning is that the person is lacking in social graces. "Cultar" relates to academic learning.

baja de educación has nothing to do with educado. While you are correct as it regards "educado", bajo de educación always refers to being poorly educated, lack of education or some variant thereof.

Thanks Jack! Appreciate your expansion and clarification of the topic. - kmaakheru, Oct 8, 2011

My native speaker girlfriend (Mexican Spanish) agrees that this refers to someone who lacks manners and social graces.

There are many ways of expressing a single idea. As we learn here, one must/should be open to this reality. - kmaakheru, Oct 8, 2011

Hi,

Baja educacion is used to express that somebody has a poor education, it could refers to a person who never visit the school or a person who don't shows respect for the other.

Answer 5

I'm just going to guess on this one but I think it means "lower education." as opposed to higher or advanced education!

Or could it be below education? I need a context to work form on this one!¡Qué lástima! - drvicente, Oct 7, 2011

Could it mean not very educated/poorly educated, as in did not acheive a high level of education? - Stadt, Oct 7, 2011
