What the education system needs, that all the money in the world can't buy, is just good teachers who are good communicators that are enthusiastic about their subjects. Just that enthusiasm alone will rub off on students and inspire them to be curious about the subjects being taught. As an extremely rich dude Gates is used to just throwing money around to get things done; trust me, I know the type. But you can save a ton of money by simply picking the right educator for the job. Unfortunately the current education system scares away or outright sacks many good teachers for stupid reasons, so really reform of the bureaucracy is desperately needed.
