Spanish term

Instruida

Spanish to English Other Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs Certificate of residence
I know there are several other entries on this, but I don't think I've not seen one which matches the context.

This is from an Argentinian certificate of residence. I can see that 'instruida' is sometimes translated as 'indictee' or 'accused', but since there is nothing else in the document to indicate that this is the meaning, I want to be sure!

Abridged context as follows:

'El funcionario de Policia que suscribe certifica que conforme al testimonio aportados por los ciudadanos [tal] y [tal], se ha llegado a establecer que [NOMBRE] ,australiana, instruida, soltera, PASAPORTE No. XXX , vive y reside en el domicilio ubicado en xxx'

Thanks

Educated is much more than “instruido” (literate) “Instruido” means just that that person can read and write (literate), as you can see from this context:
“…las circunstancias personales del imputado plasmadas en el acto de indagatoria -empleado de 52 años, que sabe leer y escribir, instruido, con estudios secundarios incompletos- no es posible inferir, menos aún tener por probado,…”

former student

Maybe, since it's a past participle.
Peer comment(s):

neutral AllegroTrans : Any refs? // Sorry but I cannot see the logic; "instruida" simply means educated, I fail to see how you can imply "former student" from that

Don't need any, since it's just a logical conclusion.
