Question: The country where most of the oil in the US comes from recognized the government led by the person most closely associated with Libya's new government at an early date together with another country. When did education become free in this other country?

idris' government was increasingly unpopular by the latter 1960s; it had exacerbated libya's traditional regional and tribal divisions by centralising the country's federal system in order to take advantage of the country's oil wealth, while corruption and entrenched systems of patronage were widespread throughout the oil industry. arab nationalism was increasingly popular, and protests flared up following egypt's 1967 defeat in the six-day war with israel; allied to the western powers, idris' administration was seen as pro-israeli. anti-western riots broke out in tripoli and benghazi, while libyan workers shut down oil terminals in solidarity with egypt. by 1969, the u.s. central intelligence agency was expecting segments of libya's armed forces to launch a coup. although claims have been made that they knew of gaddafi's free officers movement, they have since claimed ignorance, stating that they were monitoring abdul aziz shalhi's black boots revolutionary group. <SEP> In May 2011, the country became a net exporter of refined petroleum products. As of 2014, the United States was the world's third - largest producer of crude oil, after Saudi Arabia and Russia. In total energy consumption, the U.S. was between 86% and 91% self - sufficient in 2016. and second largest exporter of refined products, after Russia. <SEP> The 1891 Elementary Education Act provided for the state payment of school fees up to ten shillings per head, making primary education effectively free. <SEP> Gaddafi remained the government's public face, with the identities of the other RCC members only being publicly revealed on 10 January 1970. Although theoretically a collegial body operating through consensus building, Gaddafi dominated the RCC, although some of the others attempted to constrain what they saw as his excesses. All young men from (typically rural) working and middle-class backgrounds, none had university degrees; in this way they were distinct from the wealthy, highly educated conservatives who previously governed the country. <SEP> new zealand polytechnics are established under the education act 1989 as amended, and are considered state-owned tertiary institutions along with universities, colleges of education, and wānanga; there is today often much crossover in courses and qualifications offered between all these types of tertiary education institutions. some have officially taken the title 'institute of technology' which is a term recognized in government strategies equal to that of the term 'polytechnic'. one has opted for the name 'universal college of learning' (ucol), and another 'unitec new zealand'. these are legal names but not recognized terms like 'polytechnic' or 'institute of technology'. many if not all now grant at least bachelor-level degrees. <SEP> After the 1969 coup, representatives of the Four Powers – France, the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union – were called to meet RCC representatives. The U.K. and U.S. quickly extended diplomatic recognition, hoping to secure the position of their military bases in Libya and fearing further instability. Hoping to ingratiate themselves with Gaddafi, in 1970 the U.S. informed him of at least one planned counter-coup. Such attempts to form a working relationship with the RCC failed; Gaddafi was determined to reassert national sovereignty and expunge what he described as foreign colonial and imperialist influences. His administration insisted that the U.S. and U.K. remove their military bases from Libya, with Gaddafi proclaiming that "the armed forces which rose to express the people's revolution [will not] tolerate living in their shacks while the bases of imperialism exist in Libyan territory." The British left in March and the Americans in June 1970.
