The sample included 11 professors of Farhangian University of Kurdistan province, chosen based on criteria-based purposeful sampling. The data collection tool was a researcher-made semi-structured interview. The interview process continued until data saturation was reached. The findings of the research were presented in two parts: the methods of cultivating educated people and the existing obstacles. The former was presented in three parts: 1. Required skills, 2. Methods of educating educated people, and 3. Tools for educating educated people. The latter also comprised three parts: 1. Obstacles in the field of education and training, 2. Obstacles to adopting the appropriate model of educating an educated person, and 3. Moral and social issues. The results showed that current education is insufficient and improper to raise educated people. This requires teaching more and more specialized fundamental skills and principles. Training that will take them from passive to active actors. Education should be multi-dimensional and more emphasis should be placed on leading people to internal learning, self-reflection, and skill-orientedness. Obstacles are diverse and multi-dimensional, and in general, anything that hinders people's thinking and discretion in education is an obstacle to education and training.
