He concludes education programs have failed, because they haven't changed the gaps between ethnic groups.
Logically it's possible that they've been successful, in that in their absence the gap would have widened. It's possible over 60 years the amount of knowledge to be imparted has increased a bit. A simile: education is like rowing a boat up a river. Over the years we may have improved the oars, gotten the rowers more fit, etc., but meanwhile the flow of water down the river has increased, so the boat stays in roughly the same place.
