Education is not just about maths or what is taught at school, In my opinion most of the stuff I find useful to me I found online. Through downloading e-books or youtube or google.

things like teaching people how to be self aware through means like meditation is necessary. Once people realise certain things, their attitude will change, their behaviour will change and the world will also change. However I doubt without changing the youth culture of today from believing that terrorists are trying to kill us all, being a gangster is cool, that we are worthless without attention from others etc. We will see any changes in society.
