Curious reasoning about society. For me, american society seems to care about education more, exactly because it's members are willing to pay for it themselves. In your sentence, you juxtapose 'society' and 'population', but those are exactly the same things.

May be you meant 'government' instead?

For someone who moved from Australia to US, I don't think America cares about education for all. Only education for the elite rich. Universities should not cost as much as buying a house. The country literally puts a student in debt for life. That's nuts
