I would institute a gradual reform into private education. All families capable of sending kids to private school (unless the kid is already in a public school) will have to send there kid to a private school. This will be followed by a tax break for the family equal to the education cost (I want taxes at 0% anyway, so this works well).
Families who cannot afford private education will continue to receive public education. Ones who cannot afford private and are not in school yet will receive handouts from both government and private charities to send there kids to private schools. Eventually the cost of private education will be so low that all families can send there kids to private school, as they will not be burdened by taxation or inflation (id close the central bank).
Along with the reparation of the economy and minimal taxes (besides a general sales tax of 15%), families will never remember public education, aka government indoctrination facilities.
Also, if the unions protest, id just fire them all and exile them on a deserted island full of raging snapping turtles.
