When I read Max’s answer, I thought he was really clever to have worked that out but now I am not so sure.
Ignorance, in my opinion, is being uneducated in a particular subject or being unaware and uneducated in general. Therefore, I fail to see how ignorance (or an ignorant person) could ‘understand’ (emotionally speaking) illiteracy (or a person who was illiterate).
In this respect, I don’t think the sentence is very coherent. The word I would chose to describe the person who said this sentence would be ‘incoherent’.

“Educated”. Ignorance is lack of knowledge. Illiteracy is the inability to acquire knowledge through reading. That would rule out “wise” because it does not take education to be wise.
