Here in Canada you have to get an education to get a manual job. If you didn't have some kind of education (school or self-learned). You're pretty much un-employable (and the state will strongly compel you to get one AND pay for it).
I don't like the guy that refined this theory and shown how effective it is at turning a country around but he was right on this one. You reform a country by beginning with the youth education(by youth i mean less than 18-21 years old.). The values they are inculcate with will remain for their life and there is a good chance they will past them down to their children. This 'solution' can be use for good or for evil. Give them strong moral values and teach them how to think for themselves. Make them value knowledge and debate rather that sports and fashion.
The old saying "A country is only as good as it citizens" is quite true you know.
