I am uni prof. I would say if the govt of a certain area mandated/encouraged free software usage, and also invested money into development (to fill in missing features) and support and training (to improve teacher skills), then things will work. I agree that using libre software without support is difficult (my self-installed webwork server crashed during the quiz today).
