A lot. A lot, lot. There are entire states full of people in India who don't have access to good teaching. Who travel absurd distances and stay away from their family for years to get access to good education. In the last few years as kids in my extended family grew up, I am amazed by how much they just learn from YouTube. One of the biggest educational startups started from a free education YT channel.
