And that would somehow be bad? Maybe the sooner current system explodes, the better? After Thatcher, practical schools were closed and there has been pressure to make as many people earn a university degree as possible. Universities are lowering standards and churning out people that have no business studying at a university. Most people go to a university because that's what society, and employers, expect. How many students do you think Plato, Aristotle, Jesus etc. had? Teach the brightest and the ones with genuine interest in the subject (I don't use the word "passion" because after adoption by corporations it no longer seems to mean anything). The rest will be fine with a high school/secondary school education. Most people retain only a fraction of that knowledge anyway. Maybe it's time to stop treating (higher) education like an assembly line?
