Government boasts about university placements, ignoring the true cost of antiquated entry systems.
FO Take · Score 15
The annual university placement circus highlights a fundamental failure in education: rigid gatekeeping. Thousands vie for limited spots, perpetuating a class-based system masquerading as meritocracy. This isn't about opportunity; it's about maintaining an exclusive club. We need to dismantle these academic barriers and recognise diverse paths to expertise. Why do we still worship a single path to learning?
The strongest counter
Mass university access democratises higher education, ensuring a broad talent pool for national development and social mobility for deserving students.
