That would be great, but I just don't see it happening. The way things are going well be lucky to have a Department of Education in a few years, and public schools might be following right behind. Even if everything turns around tomorrow, all the resources in the world wont get everyone to the level you are aiming at. There are people out there who do not see any value in literacy and there are people who don't have the brain power. You could assign full time private tutors to follow them around and try to teach them things for their whole lives and you'd barely get anywhere. That's just something well have to live with. There's never been a society where everyone was intellectually active, its always been a more or less influential minority. If you want to improve society the best approach making the intellectual voice more influential, not trying to educate the gleefully ignorant.
