I'm actually glad that the educational factor of your country is cool and something that you can be proud of. Here in Nigeria, the educational sector is very poor and that is why you see a lot of kids who have turned dropouts because of unnecessary delay due to strike in the educational factors and it does not make sense to me.
Imagine that someone is spending six to seven years in the university and normally, he is supposed to spend just four years. That is not nice
If a country wants to excel in the global market for generations, it means ensuring enough people have the education required to do so.
