You don't really need to teach so many things. The only skill one needs to master them all is critical thinking. To teach critical thinking to the students, you need teachers who are critical thinkers. It does not matter if you are in USA or Zimbabwe, one thing is common everywhere. Smart people who can think critically are not encouraged or incentivized enough to take up teaching as a profession. As a result we end up with this mess of education systems everywhere. It will probably take some generational changes or visionary political leadership to change this.
