I liked what I saw in Lima, Peru: excellent private schools everywhere I walked throughout the city. Even the poor send their children to private schools. The elementary schools are brightly painted with pictures of happy children, flowers, and mottoes about healthy bodies and minds. Notices are posted about upcoming parent-teacher events. One prominent example is the "Albert Einstein Institute" for kids. Trade schools and universities abound. Near one major shopping center for computers and software, which occupied 5 whole floors of a building, I saw a large computer training school. I looked in the large windows from the street and saw rows of huge Apple monitors (30 inch I guess), must have been 50 of them, each with a student concentrating intently. I thought: there's the future, right there.
