A high level of education can amount or result in a good level of intelligence. However, it depends on many factors. We all have different backgrounds with maternal and paternal IQ that is not the same. If both parents have a high level of intelligence quotient, their offspring have a high probability of having a well-functional IQ. But the development requires some form of training for it to be productive
Education is an opener of IQ. Sometimes, a well-educated person with an average IQ might do better in some areas than another person with a high IQ because of exposure
In schools, people with lesser or lower IQs seem to learn slower than those with high IQs
Intelligence is inbuilt but school has a great role to play in unlocking many parts of the brain that works to make us (human) act/talk intelligently
Conversely, I would also say that it's not mandatory to go to school before people can notice that one is intelligent. I think I have a short true-life story to back this up
My mother's friend was a stack illiterate. She can neither read nor write but she could produce many things like Automatic transmission fluid, perfume, Car coolant, brake oil, and so on. She took it upon herself to know all this without having prior knowledge and she ended up having her production company where she produce all these products. The funniest part was that she didn't learn it from anyone
Charles was a secondary school drop out but he became one of the best motivational speakers hosting and educating graduates
These are instances of close pals. Everyone has an IQ but on different measures. If it's channelled through the right path, it would be well utilized
Going to school and truly having a good grade means you are intelligent and I think it's a measure of intelligence in that aspect
Also, learning a skill and having a good knowledge of it is a measure of intelligence on that part too
The measure of intelligence to me is doing well where you find yourself irrespective of beign educated or not
Someone said
"If you are called to be a sweeper, try to be the best sweeper that ever existed. If you do well, you will be tagged the best in that aspect and that's your measure of intelligence as a sweeper"
