You can solve both with good education but public education will never teach people to think critically about government en-masse because the committees of bureaucrats that decide the curriculum and the teachers that teach it get a government paycheck at the end of the day. They're not gonna be inclined to go all out when it comes to teaching people about things like gerrymandering, propaganda, etc. This is not for any nefarious reason or the result of any conspiracy, people just tend to see the good but not the bad when it comes to their source of income. The incentive system is simply not set up in a way to produce voters who think critically.
