Question

because there was very little investment in education, african colonies
had few leaders with government experience.
had far too few teachers for their universities.
had many skilled workers with little education.
had many overqualified workers in menial jobs.

Explanation:

Colonial powers rarely invested in educating most African people, focusing only on minimal training for low-level roles. This meant there were very few educated people with the experience to lead governments after independence. The other options are inconsistent: limited education would not create overqualified workers, skilled workers without education is contradictory, and the lack of investment affected all levels of education, not just university teachers specifically.

Answer:

A. had few leaders with government experience.
