Just for reference, we're looking at a worst

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.
