The Swiss get it right
Who Needs College? The Swiss Opt for Vocational School
Sadly, our education establishment would fight this tooth and nail. At every level of education, whenever there is a choice between the good of students vs. the interests of the educators, the students lose. The self-serving, pretentious rhetoric by which this conflict is obscured and concealed is a language game that should have been laughed off the stage a long time ago.
In this case, the conflict is over the academy's desire to maintain a system that's gotten fat off an unconscionable explosion of student debt, primarily spent on expanding and over-rewarding administrative staff, while pumping out B.A.'s that are worthless in the job market.
