Ha, sounds like you're quite judgemental about people who have other priorities as you? What are you basing your empirical claim on that good schools don't do much and that most people don't suffer much violence?
There's tons of negative evidence about schooling stuff. Review review by Bryan Caplan covers much but not all of it. Twin studies of classroom effects find nothing despite huge samples. Large cross-sectional studies generally find minor effects of schools despite bias in design.

Are you talking about research in low- and middle-income countries or within the OECD?

Western countries.

My question was not limited to rich countries.

Effects in what outcome? High quality regression discontinuity studies exploiting age cutoffs find ~5 IQ pt effect per year of early years edu.
-
Before-after studies find ~1 IQ gain, of doubtful real use (same review you get the implausible 5 IQ value from). Large RCT finds no lasting effect of Headstart etc. Meta-analysis confirms fade-out effect. etc.

Many people in the world don't have access to good primary and secondary schools. This is not about IQ and not about Europe & the US.
