The problem can't be solved through education because, at the bottom, the disagreements have nothing to do with facts -- they have to do with values. Educated, rational people disagree about values.
That's not to say that we always agree about the facts, only that the reason we disagree about the facts can usually be traced to a disagreement over values. When we do agree on values, factual questions become a technical problem -- which education could theoretically solve.
I think the solution is to have faith in plurality and be less worried that someone, somewhere has different values than us. There is a line but I don't think we're close to crossing it.
