At first I laughed. Then I just got kinda sad. Are we doomed to be collectively held back by a significant portion of the population with a poor education or is it possible to lift everyone?

Historically, there have been moments of very rapid literacy, so just to answer the question - is it possible?, yes. The question is more of when does literacy become relevant o everyday life, if the literature is made relevant then people will learn. This is even true on a smaller scale in the classroom, even with all the challenges of education
