It depends on what is meant by “educated”: what does one do with it. Possession of information or theoretical skills isn't the same as acting upon it.

First-Class degrees and Post-Graduate versus how good are you at your job or profession later.

Conversely, education isn't just about a job.

I admire your bravery.lol
But
Boycott of Israeli Education institutes,
[-Some wish we could boycott our very own mr Gove..

UK under Shariah law
[- some would like this, but as long as the lib/dems / and its loony leader does not get into power,
Then the chances are very doubtfull.lol

with so many illiterate Muslims immigrants
[- apparently [only what I read in the papers]
It’s the British? Kids that are having problems, but I do agree, that all should learn English as a first step..

you will shortly succeed to reach the 70th place, or worse...

well, anything is possible, but very doubtful we thinks…
