They are uneducated and illiterate because Islamic society wants them that way. Islam discourages science, art, music, creativity, etc. All the things that make our world a better place. This is why they have to come to the West to go to colleges and universities or buy their technology from someone else. Iran pumps out millions of barrels of oil daily but still imports thousands of gallons of gasoline since they are just now getting refining capabilities. The Islamic society still uses the models for government and social status from the 14th century, so let's send them back there.
With China improving their universities, and the declining birthrate of natives in USA (not including Hispanics), universities would be more dependent on Islamics to keep our enrollment rates in our Universities high.
