Under Educated

Question

Good morning, How might one say, "undereducated"

I just don't feel comfortable with "bajo educado"

Thanks

Answer 1

baja educación o de educación baja.

In this precise context I would say "falta de educación"

Ok, that's perfect! Thanks! - kmac7, Nov 17, 2014

Answer 2

In the north of Mexico this is commonly used:

"Es una persona con poca educación" .

The phrase includes both hypothesis: lack of formal or informal education (academic or unskilled in manners). Context defines which is used.

Answer 3

Do you mean academic education or cultural upbringing?

If it´s about someone´s bad behaviour, in Mexico we would say the same as Chileno has suggested: Es una falta de educación.

If it´s about someone who lacks academic education, we would say: persona no preparada / falta de preparación.

Answer 4

bad mannered = maleducado

Answer 5

These are all excellent suggestions! I was thinking more of a person who was lacking a formal education and focusing primarily on Mexico. Thank you all for your input. I welcome any other and/or future suggestions!
