That children still leave school still unable to read is a tradgedy. Not all 'potential' will come out regardless of where and how you were educated.

School is there to act as a complement to family life, not to compensate for the lack of it.
Too many parents wash their hands of their offspring once they go through the school gates and do nothing to encourage them or help in their learning at home. As park381 pointed out school accounts for a small percentage of the childs life, the parents have a much bigger part.
Maybe if they weren't being taught how to use a knife and fork, they could have used the time learning to read...
