You could easily solve it though. Reduce the size of schools so that their premises are no bigger than your average boozer. Aim for each school to serve the needs of between 20 - 100 children. Employ 2 - 5 Australians per school on zero hour contracts. Scatter them around willy nilly. Presto you have the same number of schools as you have 'watering holes'. Progress.

Article on South Africas 'Battle with Booze' on the BBC contains the little factoid
'It has been reported that there are often more watering holes in poor areas than libraries or schools. '
The poor savages, just imagine that... Did the author stop and think what they were writing..? you'd be hard pushed to find anywhere that schools and libraries outnumber 'watering holes'
