I won't argue with you there. Besides, our cultures are so different that an American school would do very little for them.
Education isn't all about schools, either. Exposure to other cultures would do wonders for these people. They need to start from the bottom. Learn the ropes then build an infrastructure that would allow for communication with other countries and access to educational programming.
North Africans in general have no idea about the world around them. The internet? What the fuck is the internet? Let's put it this way, my blog has had a couple thousand visitors. They come from South America, Australia, Russia, Japan, North America,South Africa, etc. There has not been one single visitor from North Africa. I have not come across one single person from North Africa on the internet. I'm sure they're there, but it's obvious there are few.
