Ok, let me take a crack at this,
What if we had a DAC that allowed people to offer to teach, online and/or in their community, and provided easy ways to crowd fund classes and maintain reputations (maybe through keyhotee). I'm talking anything from a college professor deciding to ditch the antiquated education system and go lecture to a crowd indie style, to a guitar teacher doing one on one lessons to make some cash. Really if anyone is deemed proficient in something by the community they could offer to pass on their skills either for free or for profit. Basically a way for people to opt out of the current system where you need to first be admitted, and you are told what to learn, then get certain certificates. Sounds like the most straight forward and logical way to spread knowledge and reeducate the workforce during times of structural unemployment. Also a great way for people to make extra money while creating value for everyone. In the end we all benefit from a well educated society, and removing the barriers to that are a good thing. Also if you can develop a skill that people find valuable, and you can convey that skill in a way that creates value for society, you can now be back in the workforce, but maybe more of a grass root's, decentralized workforce.
