As long as learning is connected with earning, as long as certain jobs can only be reached through exams, so long must we take this examination system seriously. If another ladder to employment was contrived, much so-called education would disappear, and no one would be a penny the stupider

And so it was in Britain in the year 2012, education was excluded from the majority through the increase in cost to attend and all that was needed to obtain wealth was to belong to a class who could afford to send their children to schools and universities, not to learn or get educated, but merely to attend, so that in later life they could say; “I am one of elite, who are the stupid ones now?”
