This succinctly states my opinion on the educate or build argument but exactly opposite.
I think we'd have to wait longer for an education campaign to work and have to keep repeating it as new drivers need educating and reminding (add it to the driving test to help) but tracks of a good enough quality to protect cyclists (perhaps like the one pictured on the Embankment, nothing like CS7 please) is an instant option and lasts many years.
I'm not saying don't educate, anything would be better than the status quo.
