All you say here is just the tip of the iceberg! Unfortunately, I believe that it is an accumulation of factors that have diminished and deteriorated the quality of education in the world. I believe that very few governments are really giving value to education and are therefore investing in it. In most countries, in order to have access to quality education, you have to have money and pay for it. Free education, in some countries, has failed. So what about the poor? They simply stop studying or leave very ill-prepared, which means that they will have fewer opportunities for employment and, consequently, less quality of life. If things continue like this, education will cease to be the right of all and will become the exclusive right of a few. Excellent post. With an interesting and important theme, @pinkspectre.
