In just the last 20 years there has probably been more free learning materials produced, than in the last 5000 years, and we can translate them all in to nearly any language instantly for free thanks to LLMs. There is no shortage of materials, we just need more people to point young people in their direction. MIT's entire computer science courses have been freely available on youtube since ~2008 and they're quite good and updated moderately frequently (more than is neccessary)
