Their literacy rates follow a few years after Cobalt production. So the less cobalt they mine, the less educated they get.

It's the same thing in every country: India, China, etc. The more money they make, the more education and higher quality of life they have, and the faster they can stop doing whatever you don't want them to do and move on to doing stuff like innovating.

Somehow I think people like you don't want Africans to get educated at all so you'll still hate it.
