Unfortunately that is one of big myths that has kept a lot of Africa from developing. Western nations have focused too much on education. But what you end up with are highly educated people who simply move out of the country at first opportunity. Capital and quality government is the key to development. Things like registering a business, getting permits e.g. cannot be too difficult. Rich countries tend to be rich in large part due to capital. Capital existing in the form of extensive road and rail road networks. Quality harbors for ships. Power stations and power grids. All these things are very capital intensive and poor countries tend to have big problems with this. Hard to run a business efficiently when you get power only parts of the day if at all, and there are no road connecting you to customers or markets. The west has focused on improving education and health care and so that has perhaps been quite ahead of the standard of the infrastructure.
