@aral If education used Nextcloud, YUNoHost and other localized technologies instead of Google. That might be a good first step.
Also: If educations have the funding they should Invest in projects similar to Freedombox that tries to make small, personal servers that are easy to setup.
If every student can get their own mini-server, has easy access to it and can install office software that also collaborate with other students and their mini-servers... Then no need for Google.
