I would discard the idea.

We get the same sort of behavior in Spain despite the fact everybody has access to education and seemingly every Fulano and Mengano has studies of some sort.

The main issue is people does not care and we have reinforced the notion that stuff is not important. It is as easy as that.

The fact so many professional comunication channels are clogged by shit does not help either. More than half the emails my users get through professional channels is junk that does not move the firm forward. For every practical email ("Jack, Helen is showing up this Friday to pick her ECGs. Make sure you leave her copies in the office")  there are 10 that are corporate filler, such as Union newsletters or self-congratulatory bulletins ("We are on our way to become leaders in social sustainability!"). Most stuff goes into the trash bin unread. It is hard to convince people that IT comms matter when it pushes trash.
