I think that classical music will survive the lack of music education in
public schools.  It isn't as if the music education was excellent in the
past; it existed, I attended the classes, and I quickly dropped it from
the brain when class was over.  The subject was an "aside" when I went to
school; now it's gone.  I'm not sure that there's much difference between
the two.
