One of Steve Jobs dream was to change the teaching institutions by providing the iPads to schools to help motivate learning. From the biography of Steve Jobs by Water Isaacson:

He held meetings with major publishers about partnering with Apple, the book says. If textbooks were given away free on iPads he thought the publishers could get around the state certification of textbooks. Mr. Isaacson said Mr. Jobs believed that states would struggle with a weak economy for at least a decade. “We can give them an opportunity to circumvent that whole process and save money,” he told Mr. Isaacson.
