What are the opposite words for well-educated?

It is unfortunate that the English language tends to have negative connotations for many antonyms of "well-educated." Common opposites are "uneducated," "ignorant," or "illiterate," which suggest a lack of knowledge or attainment. However, these words do not reflect the full complexity of education or intelligence. Other antonyms might include "narrow-minded," "closed-minded," or "inflexible." These words suggest that a person may have schooling but lacks the critical thinking or creativity to apply knowledge to different perspectives. It is crucial to remember that education is not solely measured by formal schooling or degrees, but rather by one's constant pursuit of learning and growth.
