Competitive pay for teachers is a must, regardless of how we choose to approach the critical thinking aspect of things. You also don’t need to educate everyone, just a sufficient majority. As for the lag time, yeah of course it would take time, it took time to but the system in the first place. I would argue that whatever problems were facing by that time, a solid education and grounding in critical thinking skills would help. By contrast a pig-ignorant electorate that can be led by any group of random voices is always problematic.
