I can see your point, but in the UK, there has been a crash in sciences, languages, etc, and we are in real danger of not having the resources we need for the future, as well as handing the elite who are privately educated a greater advatange than already exists. Since 1997, there has been a considerable expansion of tertiary education access, though with severe funding crises and a brain drain, and the result of this has been a skills shortage.
