The point of what you have to say, does indeed seem to increase the potential to educate.
Whilst I haven't bothered to do the math, I'm very confident that this 'initiative' will not even bother to compete with a rising birthrate, or indeed inflation. One must also remember that human knowledge itself updates quite regularly. I see no thinking in your 'initiative,' that takes into account of the poverty of education versus the actual collective education that exists. The real poverty gap, and its accelerating.
Of course I realise it is beyond a politician to think in any terms other than financial. Allow me to address you in this sense. Let's talk of your economic entity, the 'poverty gap'
You say you wish to close the gap. Think simple terms. Poverty gap is increasing. An 'initiative' like this focuses on the gap itself, and those who are closest to it, ie. the richest of the poor and the poorest of the rich. This act moves the gap in an attempt to catch up with the very rich, but in the long term just facilitates the poor rich, which it will eventually only cater to, catching up with their rich friends. The Poor as usual facilitate all this and end up shafted.
Tis but a misguided attempt to keep the status quo, which in reality is just further example of the decline in Ireland, of hope itself.
Well done!!
