@clacke @oldrawgabbit @danwentzel Indeed, I can get that universities may have to be a bit more remote (ideally with enough local housing for the students, however), but there is really no reason not to have schools up to something like 8-ish grade¹ everywhere, and some variation of quality will happen, but having outright bad schools is quite an evil in itself that should be fixed.

¹ the actual grade depends on how schools work in a specific country, but something around that.

(and I say this as somebody who doesn't exactly like living in a 15 minutes town)
