There was an interesting story on NPR the other morning on this very topic. Part of the problem (in the US) is the rulemakers are not held accountable for the outcomes of their decisions. No Child Left Behind is a disaster, but its the teachers (not the people who passed the law) who are taking the brunt of the blame.
I've been told I'd make a good teacher, but there's no way I'd go into that field in today's climate. I have the utmost respect for those who do, because I know they're doing it because they're passionate about it. It's certainly not for the (shitty) pay.
