Add to that Africa's colonial, archaic education system, which has been unthinkingly carried over from the 1920s -- and at the age of 15, I could name all the various causes of the wars that had happened in Europe in the past 200 years, but I couldn't name the president of my neighboring country.
再提一提非洲 过时的殖民性教育系统， 它被人不经思考地 从20世纪20年代带到现在， 在我15岁的时候， 我就可以背出 欧洲过去200年里所有战争 发生的原因， 但是我连我的邻国的总统 名字都不知道。
