Filling knowledge gaps

Hi there. Recently I've been coming to terms with gaps in my knowledge. I want to be a more wellrounded person. I had a really great education in STEM subjects at school, but a lacking education in english literature, social studies, world history & geography. I feel this knowledge gap quite acutely, and while I've done my best to educate myself through free resources, I know that having a teacher or mentor guiding me would be really helpful. My success in stem could likely be attributed to the quality of teaching, encouragement, open discussion, mentoring and guidance that I received. But it's been over a decade since I was at school. Is there a way that I can fill these gaps in? Self-education resources are plenty, but I feel that having people to ping off like in a class setting would make the experience so much richer. I can't really afford much as I already have student debt. Some part of me wishes I could just go back to a better school and fill those gaps in, I really crave some deeper more immersive education. Any ideas or how you did this later in life?
