Education is more a filtering mechanism than an enrichment mechanism. Panning does not create gold.

Regardless, 5 standard deviations is enormously huge. Every person born would be as smart as the most elite scientists today. The most elite scientists in the future will be far smarter than anyone who ever lived.

This has enormous military consequences, much larger than squeezing the dry rag of education.
