Your country can be developed in twenty to thirty years. Japan did it. Korea did it. Singapore did it. They did it by educating their people first.
Every problem you fund — health, poverty, fertility, governance — is downstream of this one. The data says they all follow education, not the other way around.
The framework encodes the wrong causal model. You put education fourth. They got the message.
The whole argument in one path. The state sets the pace at which schools reach each family; everything downstream — literacy, the decisions educated adults make, longer lives and fewer children — is what the filled childhood window produces. Each schooled generation becomes the next child's family. Income is a by-product.
