I believe the fault here, at least in most third world countries, lies with society and associated expectations. My grandmother never approved of my decision not to become an engineer, but go into the hard sciences instead. The quality of education I got there was never a problem (and in fact was really good) and the institutions had a lot to do with that quality. I know of any number of people who kept trying to become an engineer or a doctor (at least in those days), or chose science in high school cause that's what they were "supposed to do"
