Oh yes, the reason for all those must be the government controlled education, nothing else could explain that. Everywhere where the education is controlled by the government, evil things happen.
This is unfortunately true in many places around the world and throughout history. Sometimes, when governments control education they use it to indoctrinate the population with nationalism and perhaps a lot of other hateful things. I would say that all State run systems indoctrinate students into the particular rules of their country. This isn't always benign.
