Put money into education, not war.
Elevate the standard of education given AND train and pay teachers properly.
Make the parents more responsible in their child's education, i.e. have them encourage their kids to apply themselves, that is not only the school's job.
Many US kids come out of high school, not having even been taught English comprehension. Meaning they ain't gonna pick up on the most basic of nuggets. The more a kid hears that their exams are being made more easy, the less they are going to try to achieve anything, they don't think they have to.
Beware of government schemes, they just get you off the unemployment list, and often just leave you in debt to them.
Sometimes having an 'education' can work against you - 'you are over qualified'. When I first came to the states I would take my degrees off my CV.
 
Dumbing down is deliberate. The masses got too bright. Now you buy an education, to keep it out of reach.
 
We have evolved to not use our legs, arms, eyes and now brains.
