>False dichotomy: you can have this and have small independent households (and have a high GNP). It just takes a culture (as opposed to Ms Perry's?) where people are, generally, considerate.
This is a prescriptive statement masquerading as a descriptive one. Saying a considerate society is high trust does not will into reality either considerateness or a high-trust social fabric, neither of which you've demonstrated to be mutually dependent.

(but "education" here refers not only to strengthening technical and academic skills, "savoir-faire", but also to strengthening soft skills, "savoir-vivre"; ymmv) If you have more plausible mechanisms, I'm all ears. PS. I'm not attempting to will this into existence in the UK context; just pointing out that it does exist outside the UK context.
