One issue I see in school systems is that a failure is just indicated as that - "wrong, try again" or "failed". The consequences of being wrong aren't immediately real. When they are (as at a vegetable market in chennai where I am) you learn quickly how to (for ex) calculate correctly so you don't lose money, how to use a balance to weigh things, how to talk to people well, etc. Saying "if you get this wrong now, in the future when you do X you'll have trouble" is completely unmotivating.
