This will be more obvious in developing countries, who do not have large education budgets. US schools have a decent supply of decent courses - you could take a Cryptography course from Stanford, but you don't have to, as there's probably one at your local university anyways.
Someone involved in higher education in poorer countries could utilize these courses as a base material, and have local TAs grade assignments and facilitate in-class discussions.
