Caribj,
It must be really upsetting for you to see the rise of Brazil as one of the world powers.
I am not upset because until Brazil learns to stop using skin color as criteria for social progress it will always remain POOR. 50% of its peoples are not white.
If the average WHITE Brazilian only has primary school education Brazil will remain POOR. Most non white Brazilians never even finished primary school!!!!!Even Guyana does better than that.
Don't be ridiculous!
Guyana doesn't do better than any country in the western hemisphere but Haiti.
Brazilians are less educated than Guyanese. That indeed is a fact. Almost all Guyanese have had at least a primary school education, and this has been true for almost 50 years.
In Brazil this is not true. And definitely not for their nonwhite populations.

What is the purpose of having long years of something that is of bad quality?

Besides, nobody even bother to get quality of life stats for Guyana:
