It would be interesting to look at what the eastern europeans countries are doing. If you want to look at getting back to basics then soviet education curricula (apart from the nationalistic stalinist element) could be interesting. Russians that I have met all speak 2 or 3 languages, and the russians seem to have a good sound science and applied science education.

Remember also that university is not the be all and end all in Russia, there is no shame in becoming a craftsperson as opposed to becoming a doctor, or more commonly here it seems a science graduate who cant get a job simply because everyone has a degree.

Your thoughts please.
