Although Sub-Saharan Africa possesses many natural resources, the countries' educational systems have failed to make much of a difference in most people's standard of living. The Omatseyes address this issue in Going to School in Sub-Saharan Africa. Historical, political, and economic circumstances—from the legacy of colonialism to the scourge of AIDS—have led to multiple failures in educating the African child.
