We need to realise that everyone is not the same life is a competition and will always have people of differing abilities but the education system continually ignores this fact.Many people have neuther the capacity or the will to learn.

University is not for all it is primarily for higher education and that is obviously for the more able. The current drop out rate is terrible and a direct result of allowing too many people with neither the will nor the capability in many cases to cope.

More emphasis is placed on the experience than the educational advantages or the need to do something while there.

University should be for those that earn it by being among the best not a direct tool of social policy and government manipulation.
