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.

My only issue with this is that maturity level affects performance so much that if you place people in a stream at 12-14 do you lose people who at 20 are now mature enough to learn.
So I definitely agree that the options of earlier vocational training should be there Id be concerned if it becomes limiting people’s options at an age where their parents are primarily responsible for their outcome.
