People don't need education they need guns any good business man or politician will tell you so
The lesson here from China is that global industrialisation and technology will not remedy poverty if most parents across the globe are still having 6,7,8 kids. The increase in life expectancy that comes from economic development must be matched by a decline in the birth rate to lower poverty. China's one-child policy achieved this, and the Western industrial revolution that was slow and naturally occurring had a culture that evolved in tandem(so again, a fall in birth rate here).
However, India and the other sweatshops of the world that have had industrialisation rushed on them by greedy, grasping financiers and traders do not have a culture that's adapted to modern civilisation. And so the real economic gains made from development are being outpaced by the birth rate. India has barely touched its rates of poverty despite its soaring growth.
