unstudious

Averse to learning

Unstudious describes someone who lacks interest in study or scholarly pursuits, or who neglects academic work.

The word implies a disposition rather than mere circumstance—an unstudious person isn't just busy, they're disinclined toward books and learning: He was cheerful but unstudious, preferring sports to homework.
