  2. Want to add a bit more to this conversation: -Why do people get those degrees? Why not work for it? Most people who get these degrees are not bad people. Lower-middle class and middle class folks who want to keep up with their clique who have moved to the West with real jobs/degrees or people who do not have means to reach the goals. Getting into good colleges where the standard of education is high is an impossible ask with the amount of competition for places(approximately 1 in 50000 gets a seat with just 30% of the eligible population actually applying for it). People in the West don't realize how good they have it even with their community colleges. -Why do people at the top create those systems? Blue pill answer they are corrupt. Red pill answer, it genuinely helps people in their communities in the long run(for communities not the system). A person who does not have education is perceived to have no value and have their skills capped. Unless you can rent-seek under inheritance, all the person can hope for is a crappy manual labor job for life. Elevate them to blue collar jobs and they ensure that their children will do better. -Why are these societies like that? Why don't you see such things in Japan or Korea which emerged from similar conditions? Japan(not colonized) and Korea(US aid+military) are exceptions, not the rule. The societies(Middle East, India, Pakistan and to a degree China) are post colonial entities where a majority of the people are still figuring out what democracy and modern institutions(education in this instance) are. They do not see value in setting up long term institutions (and people in the West have forgotten the hundreds of mistakes they made in a similar position as it was a couple of hundred years ago). I have seen this topic taken up by the Western far right under the dog whistles of "collectivist societies" and "genetic tendencies". Feel free to ask
