Just for reference, we're looking at a worst case roughly 124,000 school stubs ( http://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d04/tables/dt04_085.asp ) for the US.
Yes, and the US accounts for ~5% of the world population. Assuming that there are 2x as many schools per capita as in the US, that means over a million stubs.
We have others floating suggestions of putting a stub in for every city, town, village, and perhaps hamlet everywhere in the world. Those are being taken positively and seriously. I hesitate to guess how many million stubs that will end up being.
I am not going to extend the schools argument to the whole rest of the world. I would assume that other english-speaking nations would want equal inclusion, (UK, Canada, Australia, NZ, etc). That's going to less than double the potential number of school stubs.
