Examine the provided diagram and respond to the following question.

How many educated individuals are considered backward?

To find the number of educated individuals who are considered backward, we need to find the region common to both the Triangle (Educated people) and the Square (Backward people).
From the diagram, the numbers inside both the triangle and the square are $11$ and $3$.

$$\text{Total}=11+3=14$$

Hence, there are 14 educated individuals who are considered backward.
