I've said what I intended to so I don't see much point repeating it. But the reference to Reith and the educational aspect is not as simple as it appears. Your definition of 'educational' may be significantly different to Reiths.

I don't really know anything about RTE beyond the fact the politics at the time it was founded, those in place when the BBC was founded and for the BBC now are all quite different and [in my judgement] quite enough to account for the different approaches.

In any case, it seems absurd to me to propose a major reorganisation of the BBC including Acts of Parliament given what you want to achieve. You will have to find another way to fund it, I fear.
