This is a real game changer for those of us outside the US. My kids are 11 and 13 now. This looks like a huge opportunity growing for them. It will no longer matter that they will be far from a world-class university.

I would totally hire people who could prove the knowledge and dedication necessary for the work at hand, wherever they come from and whether or not they could afford to go to a big-name University from the 1st world or not.

This free education trend is a game changer for kids in formerly "safe" rich countries, and I see it as unstoppable.
