No it should not. It is too vague, and to demand it is utopian..
When formulating demands you have to be concrete. Higher pay is concrete. Abolish merit systems is concrete. A demand must not rest on a prediction of qualitative results. You simply are not thinking politically when you advocate a goal so vague.

P.S. I'm assuming here that "improve schooling" is more a less synonym for "good education."
