Theirs is a system that “funnels” people without giving them much choice. I can see the issue in that. But how about this: an objective test that anyone can take however many times they want, as long as they have a high school diploma. That’s essentially the Brazilian system. There are arguments to be made about well off kids still getting an advantage because their parents can afford prep schools, but the government counters (at least partially) that by introducing quotas for certain disadvantaged groups. I have many misgivings about many things in Brazil, but I do think the university admissions process down there is the fairest I’ve seen in my life.
