I honestly can't understand how people spout some of this crap. I've also grown up in a region where education was overlooked, and living with complete fucking morons is not fun. Especially when these morons themselves think that education is worthless, which is a snowball effect meaning many of their children will be stupid, as well. On the other hand, it's easier to control them if you want to. Like they did in Medieval ages and earlier. Yeah, let's go back to that. The ROI is as indirect and long term as it gets, but it's real and it's massive.

You have to compare comparables situations : what could have been done different with the same resources involved ? Having an educational system is a sign that the society is wealthy and can afford it, but doesn't mean it's the best use of resources involved (thus it might have a bad ROI). You said education was overlooked where you come from, was there an educational system there ?
