I think things are changing, but it has it cost, my country is developing but here and there we have schools that are preparing their students to feel superior, from the equipments they have qualifications of the teachers and other schools quality, but this comes at a cost the prices of such schools are very high, and it's still almost line what you saying, because the school are attended by the very rich or those under scholarship, or those that their poor parents who knows the important went a far length to send them into the school, the knowledge of the students knowing how superior the school is has already started build superior power in them, which they can use to chase exciting dreams.
Things are definitely changing, but it's difficult for me to really make a true assessment of whether it's positive or not in the long run. I come from what's known as a developing country, but from a state with the lowest statistics in HDI. Invisible because national indicators put the country quite high in the region. I mean, I say where I'm from and people immediately think skyscrapers and rich people and fancy modern living... but my own state only achieved in 2020 50% literacy rate -- so that's a marker I think no one believes when I tell them.
To change that, our young people are venturing out more and more, and getting better paying jobs and going to better paying schools. But I'm not sure becoming better people (at least from a tiny sample of what I can observe). These are also the most likely to be the ones hearing about and getting into Bitcoin -- but not to use them, also judging from the discussions I have been able to observe.
It's better than rotting in obscurity and disease in the middle of nowhere and getting left behind by the world, I suppose...
