It's not what you spend, it's how you spend it.

That's true. We have more advanced academia even here in South Africa, and we're a third world country.

You mean you can't just throw money at a problem and expect it to resolve itself??

Compared to how many nations there are in the world, we are not terrible. We are simply mediocre among priviledged countries. Of course we can always strive to improve, but do you really expect us to excel at every single thing we do? That's just unrealistic.
