educado can also have the meaning of "educated", and "educated" actually does have a secondary meaning of "mannerly", but the immediate connotations of both are different. When someone describes someone as mal educado they usually mean that they are rude, not that the have not gone through sufficient schooling, which is what my first thought is.

It's the same with Spanish: educado = polite, well-mannered; maleducado = rude, impolite, ill-mannered
