A plan for Africa

My plan for Africa simply relies in education. The situation in the African continent will only improve with the education of its people.
My idea is to spend (Live8?) money on scholarships, grants, and stipends aplenty so that 100s or 1000s of young people from many African countries access good schools and universities abroad.
Sure some would remain abroad, but many others would return and do/give something back to their home nation.
I think the hope of the continent lies in those who return, educated, new sounds in their ears, new visuals populating their dreams, their minds flourishing with new ideas.
