Hopefully, Khan, and the people he inspires, can work towards a solution to the larger problem in making education accessible to everyone: while the resources for education are readily available to anyone who can get to a public library, the culture of the least educated people often prohibits self-improvement.

I don't mean this to be a prejudiced statement, I understand there are prejudices and nuances, but I live in a very blue collar neighborhood, and I hang out in the library and interact with the middle school and high school students here. The percentage of people in my town who would feel comfortable admitting an interest in watching a Khan Academy video is very low.
