Education based only by books? True or not?

Well, I believe that education means more than what you get in school, and that it is not only based by the books we used in school like Mathematics, Science, Language and so on. I believe that you do not have to be an architect, an engineer, a doctor or a nurse to be called an educated person. Knowledge is not only based on books, but in every day life. What i mean that experience can be an education of every person. Through experience we become knowledgeable. Through experience we learn. Well, that's my opinion :) Correct me guys if I'm wrong.. I wanna hear what's your view..

While it is important to be educaed by trained teachers, and to read lots of books, education isn't based on school and books alone. To be completely educated a person has to get out there and live!!! Education also takes life experience.
