You have comprehension problem, it seems. I suggest you re read what I posted. I said higher education is important, but primary education is more important than higher education. I meant if nearly all the educated people of the country are doctors and engineers, but the literacy rate is low and the masses are ignorant and poor, the country still can't make significant progress.

Thats not neccassarily true. There is no such primary vs higher education formula. You cannot put one up against the other.
India - does not have literacy of the masses - yet has a significant higher educated class, and despite its many faults, seems to be developing.
Phillipines - where the majority are literate, does not seem to be developing/improving like it should.
It also cannot be guaranteed that education will neccassarily eradicate poverty and ignorance.

True, but then Muslim culture is underly materialistic (which is probably why Muslim countries do not have strong economies). I would recommend that each culture try to learn from the others.
