Educate the World

The United States of America has the ability to offer free K-12 textbooks to the world online. If
they say they are unable, then we should ask a superpower to show them up.

This is interesting! Education is considered to be most important for the success of a person. If
every individual is given proper education then there will be no poverty, unemployment and every
individual will work and have a better living.

Textbooks are a key educational tool and resource which arguably rivals the importance of teachers,
but which has much greater availability for students. Access to written information provides
constant availability to students compared to the limited availability of teachers during class
periods, as well as whenever else a teacher’s schedule will permit.
Thousands of years worth of discovery, progression, theory, and fact are contained within primary
school textbooks. Even if we place outdated books (maybe 20 years old) to protect the copyright
status of new publishers, they would still contain a lot of valuable information which needy
individuals could utilize.
There's an interesting quote which says, "In a land where all are blind, the one-eyed man is king".
Educating the masses would provide so many tangible and intangible benefits; however, educated
individuals also possess an educated opinion and are more prone to critical thinking, analysis, and
questioning.
