educability
Ability to learn
Educability is the capacity to be educated—the ability to learn, be trained, or benefit from instruction.
The term appears most often in educational psychology and special education contexts, where it may be used to assess whether a person can acquire academic skills: Tests of educability helped determine appropriate classroom placement.
The word implies that learning ability varies and can be measured.
