They need to start doing this in middle school and start developing more vocational programs that help the less academically inclined to get on a career path and find something they enjoy and are good at.
One of the problems I see in education is the fear of failing a student for poor performance. Everyone has to pass the class or the instructor is viewed as doing something wrong. This needs to change and students need to should the responsibility for their poor performance. Change this and the education system will see itself solve many of the problems facing it today, including greater value to the degrees awarded.
