I don't believe Project Management can increase the quality of education in most cases. The reasons preventing quality education from being delivered are usually rooted in politics, greed, corruption, racism, misogyny and many other issues no amount of successful Project Management can resolve.

I'm not familiar with the state of education in the US, but wrt Canada and India (the countries I am familiar with), it's mostly policy related issues that is compromising the quality of education. Having said that, any policy related decision eventually boils down to projects, and that is probably where the PM community and practice can deliver. Saving Changes...
This is less a question of project management and more one of vision, will and public policy. Once those evolve, project management can certainly help to deliver the improvements in a predictable manner.
I have hopes that progressively competitive pressures from online courses and other disruptors to traditional educational offerings will force them to evolve in spite of themselves.

It is a tale told by an idiot,
full of sound and fury,
signifying nothing."
