Many nations like the ones you mention here China and N korea do this as a tool to control their people. The education they give is basic party propaganda.
They do not want their people to know more than what they feed them and they don't want the world to know anything more than what they tell the world.
This is absolute control.
I like your title buying education and missing out on knowledge. Education has become a business where i live.
I am happy that free education sites like Khan academy , other paid sites like Udemy offer good services.
Personally I believe a mind that thirsts for knowledge learns.

Basically education is now a sold commodity in most places of the world, but knowledge which should be the aftermath of this process isn't acquired and this is a huge concern especially when we talk about countries like China and North Korea. The internet is a huge place, I believe eventually people becomes more knowledgeable and wiser when they're keyyed in to it. It's one way to really become innovative and truly free.

I wonder how many people use the internet to gain knowledge compared to those who use it for infortainment or entertainment. Just curious.
I see a majority of people watching entertainment videos rather than use it for acquiring knowledge.
the WWW is the greatest resource today if used rightly.
