Why don't they just remove censorship in schools, stop teaching religion and encourage freethought and debate by seperating religion and state.

This is very good :) - was just thinking about this a couple of days back, wondering why there was nothing being done to improve the standard of education here.

Build more 'public/state' schools.

Start by offering TOP salaries to good teachers so as to attract the best talent that money can offer.

Scholarships to poor and deserving students........

Re: Dubai ruler in vast charity gift

Encouraging lateral thought instead of learned response would be a big help too..

I was thinking about how many Middle Eastern leaders are cursing Shk Mo right now. Keeping their population poor and stupid is a large part of how they hang onto power.
