In Mexico and Chile ( Democracies ) There are several Top International rated Universities, Colleges, and Techs’, and many other good schools like the Hebrew Institute of Mexico.
IPN or UNAM
In Cuba the Literacy rate is 100% thanks to Fidel Castro and his system.
Everybody in Cuba knows how to read and write in Spanish.
But why some pirivileged citizens of first class countries refuse to recieve education and they hang out with gangs and junkies ending on criminal activities?
Why they don’t go to the public libraries that are free, or enroll to Schools ( free most of them )?

Because people in Mexico like to learn, people in America don’t.
Mexicans like to lean because they see it as a privilege that only few people get because most people are poor.
If things are so good in the countries. Why do they keep trying to get into America illegally…by your measure…since America is so bad?
There are some good international schools, but the best are in the US and other Technologically advanced countries countries. That is why so many foreign students want to attend them.
And I think your facts are way off by the way . . . where did you get them. The average person in the US or any other 1st world country is way more educated.
To be completely honest. It is all about the pressures of Family and Government, as a community that encourages growth in Learning! However, many of those who are educated in those areas, fail in the U.S. universities due to the higher expectations and education in the country. Also, many of the first world countries allow people the freedoms to be individualistic, with less server consequences than the non-first world countries.
That is my interpretation, on your question.
in that countries you can’t do what you want.
therfor, studyis free. they learn – math, science etc.
not “danger ideas”.
in the western countries – you have to pay for your study. you can’t enforce anyone to learn.
but if you want, you can learn about the free thoughts – which is not allowed there.
therefore – they have better technicians. but not even one site – with a free discussions – like here.
what is better? read 1984 of orwell…

The literacy rate in Mexico is horrible. A good part of the country is uneducated.
Cuba is somewhat of an exception. Cuba is a communist dictatorship. They can kill you if you don’t learn to read
In most first world countries, there are choices. Some people make good ones other make bad ones. Most first world countries, including the US do an excellent job of educating their citizens. The US, Canada, and most of Western Europe have excellent colleges. Stanford, Harvard, Princeton, University of Chicage, Wharton School of Business, MIT, Oxford, etc.
In Mexico you learnd to read at the age of four and in U.S.A like at 7 years old.
A friend of mine (mexican) went to an american school for a year and she told me they were learning things (in 5TH grade) that we learned in third grade
same happens with many more privileged students in chile –dont knwo a thing about mexico or cuba– and ur gonna see that everywhere. its niot a first world pattern, its just how it is whether its the us, chile, brazil, sweden or australia.
