The relationship between Education and Prosperity is funny one. Argentina and Egypt are good examples of societies that got educated but did not see economic returns. (source: nntaleb).
A prosperous country gets more educated but an educated country may not always prosper.
- conanbatt 9y agoARgentina's public education is disastrous at all levels. While we have a public university that is free, mostly middle class goes there. Upper class goes private, and lower class does not graduate highschool. Our high-school graduation rate is 50%. And our public college graduation rate is about 50% as well.
