I think this would depend a lot on whether anyone expected to have children again. It doesn’t seem to me that a society losing its children would start thinking in terms of education reform, automatically. Perhaps there would be a scramble when they realized the cure was going to work to cobble together a new schooling system, and so it would be a combination of reform, whatever they could throw together, and any special interests that managed to get their foot in the door. It seems to me that corporations/etc would jump to get their stake in the new children’s market.
I’m pretty sure that in this kind of a scenario, there would be massive amounts of hopeful thinking in the populace. It would also give part of the former teachers and pedagogical experts something to do in the meanwhile.
