MODERATORS
I should have been more specific! I was referring to early or basic schooling education: years 1 to 13 in my country. These are the formative years and are the most important for everybody universally. The quality of this education is paramount.
Higher-education wasn't even on my mind! I'd call that quantity of education for the purposes of this discussion.
This is what I meant by "quality", though I'd add the expertise of their teachers. Anecdotally, I often suspect that kids find maths hard because their teacher doesn't understand the maths they're teaching.
Some people I know wear their ignorance as a badge, I just don't get it. I assume there was some fundamental lesson not learned very early on, but can't even guess what that lesson was.
