Education isn't the limiting factor, it's the massive retooling and change in standards that would be needed across many industries. Not to mention also the need to then ensure interchangeable parts between measurement standards (think housing materials, for example), which could mean increased inventory which is a financial burden for companies.

Unfortunately, the impact is astronomically huge and the imperial measurement system is too ingrained for it to change and make financial sense.
