If a new, freer method of education does prove to be more effective, this will provide an advantage to those societies that prefer freedom. More rigid and authoritarian societies will be reluctant-to-unable to adopt such a model.
Note: Society is not the same as nation. I can certainly see large Western nations splitting along such a fault line.
