I suspect that Irish and Indian universities don't have the ambiguous to non-existent missions that so many of our universities have. 4. #3, that’s a very good point, which though your point is post-secondary, leads one to wonder why something like No Child Left Behind, which is nationalization-lite, is so feared/hated.

Over the last decade, Ireland has heavily nationalized it's education system. There is a strong initiative at the national level to educate its citizens at the post-secondary level. It's no coincidence that the knowledge industries are on the move in Ireland as well as India; another country focused on federalized education.

It - not the UK - should be the stepping stone to Europe (not that the Brits don't deserve it). Considering the whole of Irish history it’s good to see Ireland finally succeeding.
