Literacy simply means to be able to read and write. Education, on the other hand, means to acquire knowledge to enhance one's ability to reason and make sound judgment: However, when one is instructed to only view things in a certain manner, regardless of truth and facts, this is actually a form of programming - not education.

Every educated person is a literate but every literate is not an educated person. Literacy is a part of education. Education has a broader meaning whereas literacy is narrower in concept. The goal of literacy is to make a person to read and write. The aim of education is to make one 'a complete person'. It makes the person not only to read and write but to think comprehensively and reason scientifically. When a person is civilized in behaviour, lives with philisophic fervor leading others to choose him/her as a role model. Many saints and philosophers, though illiterate they were, guided the coming generations better than the most of the so-called educated ones. Definitely illiteracy is a curse but the power of the mind can overthrow the ills of illiteracy if the person is well trained in the intricacies of life.

Knowing the knowable is education. Knowing to read and write is literacy. They are mutually helpful. One can be called educated when his behavuor most closely resembles that of an educated no matter if an illiterate he is as was Emperor Akbar ..Education helps change a person's behaviour in an acceptable direction.Practice and experience can make men educated , not just a diploma or grade advancement only.

Education is the profession of teaching (especially at a school or college or university)
and
Literacy is the ability to read and write a simple statement about one's everyday life and do simple mathematical calculations.

a literate person might have a educational degree but an educated person doesnt need a degree to prove that he is literate.....
literacy is writing or reading but education is a lot more than that......its about life, about knowledge, about wisdom,about deciding good and bad, wrong and right...a lot more than anyone can understand
