Two quick examples - someone said that they study for two degrees at two separate universities. Now this is ok if you are a/ a genius or b/ both schools have pretty damn low standards. I know one guy who did his commerce and law degrees simultaneusly but he's now running a multinational company so I think that's an exception. If someone can breeze throught two universities at the same time, well to me that speaks more about the academic requirements than the student in question.
Other example was that from someone's highschool class, 90% of students went to university. Again, as someone who's looking at it from the outside, to me it speaks volume about the university, well I should call it a post-high school school, that'd be more accurate. Where are the requirements if anybody who has the brainpower to find the way to the campus gets in? Unless the university/faculty has a high drop out rate I'd say it's pretty pathetic when the post secondary education has been watered down like this.

I thought you'd have some actual hard evidence, but all you have is hearsay?! Now I'm starting to wonder about Australia's education system.
I heard that only about 20% of students actually go to post-secondary and that the drop-out rate may be as high as 80% in some faculties.
