It is obvious - poor but educated people are different from poor and uneducated. To lift people out of misery and poverty is what education is for in the first place.
In countries like India that could be clearly seen. Poverty alone does not account for the behavioral patterns. Education is the key. People knew this since antiquity, independently of a particular civilization - Indians knew this, Chinese knew this, you name it.

This is what we call conditioning or exposure to certain culture. Street kids, usually members of a gang, who never have experienced transforming influence of the culture of a good school and a good teacher are definitely not the same as those who vent through one.
