Imagine China, with only the expensive class of engineers, for instance. Or atleast, one with this class, and another class that was educated in English, but barely knows the language, let alone possessed of any usable skill.
There are now villages, driven by this economics, where rural-children are being taught in English. Considering how bad the Japanese/Chinese are with English, it shouldn't be hard to interpolate how disabling this is when everything is being taught in a foreign language.
