I really hope he can actually take his ideas to fruition. Getting rid of the "blob" (industry term he uses sometimes). Getting students to understand 100% of a topic before moving onto topics that use the previous topic as a foundation. Paying fewer, good, teachers $100k+ (this may sound bad, please watch the video to understand what the entails) rather than many (maybe good) stretched-too-thin teachers the wages they get now. etc. Amazing watch and well worth an hour of your time.
But if you haven't checked it out, please do check out Khan Academy. One of my favorite videos is his ~1.5 hour informal session at MIT: http://www.khanacademy.org/talks-and-interviews/v/salman-kha...
