Yes. To be literate simply means you can read & write. To be educated means you have learned and use manners & the social graces that you have learned from your parents & home as well as schooling.
Educated:
1. having undergone education: educated people.
2. characterized by or displaying qualities of culture and learning.
3. based on some information or experience: an educated estimate of next year's sales.

Very much so. Literate means a person can read. Educated means they can read, write, do math, understand history and science, cook, type, calculate the orbital trajectory of the moon, tell you which planets are visible in the sky, what happens when you mix sulfuric acid with water, why it rains, snows and hails; it also means that someone has a degree that may or may not be parallel to their current occupation...

The educated person simply has more education, that's the only difference.
