College education is free to Polish citizens all the way up through the Masters Degree level. And the cost of a Ph.D is pretty low as I understand it (comparatively). And the education seems to be of pretty high quality. The medical school here in Poznań attracts students from around the world. I've met students from the U.S., Taiwan, China, and India so far in just the 2 months or so I've been here. Strangely enough, I seem to meet the majority of them at Subway when I'm getting lunch. =)
Add in that seemingly most young Poles speak not only Polish, but English as well, and I suspect the US could learn a bit about running a successful education system here. And those young people I've met who don't speak English often speak some other language (Russian or German mostly).
