Many of good examples in the world show that higher investment into education results higher development in society, just have a look on statistics of "The East Asian Tigers" or Scandinavian countries too. They have changed their attitudes toward education and they received its rewards.
Tell me please, how many international studies governments need to change their education policy?

I believe, governments do well understand the importance of investment in education sector for socio-economic development.. But, it is a long term strategy and today's fragile political environment in most of such countries hampers to invest in sectors like education. Therefore, such governments prefer to gain short terms goals by immediately providing benefits to the public, I think so.
