My country has all the human, natural and material resources to be developed but our biggest impediment is corruption. More than half of the income that we get from the exportation of raw material is stolen by government officials. This has led to an infrastructural deficit, poverty, a high rate of crime and mass migration.
Many countries have similar issues, Education is the way out of it.
So you found a way not to develop yourself, great excuse.
A government cares for their people invests heavily into education.
