Thank you for adding the clarification. That was actually what I meant but I should have been more precise in my communication.
Anytime we try to force a sufficiently large group of people into one system, we're bound to create artificial distortions as a result of sanding down the rough parts, i.e. the outliers.
Part of the solution will have to be the offering of multiple paths toward becoming a productive/successful citizen.
There's a second problem here as well, the status quo problem. When a sufficiently high percentage goes through university (and all in the same age bracket as well.), you create a signal that if you don't go through traditional education, you're somehow defective. Thereby, removing the option of choosing a different path because of the stigma (e.g. starting university at 36 instead of 18).
