May I suggest you start thinking (and acting) outside the box.
The school/teach/educate syndrome has a purpose. A double purpose.
1) to give each human the opportunity to learn and enjoy life.
2) to give society citizens who can participate with reason on decisions that affect their lives.

There is not reason to believe that the school/teach/educate syndrome is the best way to meet either goal. This is particularly true with the global needs, the human needs, and the technology and techniques we have today to meet them, and that are their sources.
So perhaps the place to start is with why, how, when, and what needs to be learned (by both the individual and society). Then we would be ready to design a strategy.
