Depends whereof you speak. It’s high in the UK (edjucayshun is ‘free’) but then university drop-out is high ever since the clown in charge back in 1997 decreed a target of 50% of school leavers to go to university. There followed a lowering of standards, grade inflation, and affirmative action skewed to females, ethnics, parental financial status - so entrance requirements became anyone with a pulse who had been to school and fulfilled the affirmation criteria - literacy and numeracy not required. The result? As one wag put it, what do you say to a university graduate? Do I get fries with that?
