I think the governments push to get so many young adults into further education can in some instances steer them in the wrong direction. There are many school leavers choosing worthless degrees where they would probably be more suited to a vocational type job.
Education, Education, Education was the call when Labour came to power which I'm all for but, the reality is cuts, cuts, cuts. My 11yr old daughter whilst in her primary school went through some fundamental changes, her class sizes increased, next they decided to amalgamate two years together. This resulted in teachers having to set two lots of work. There were benefits for some gifted children from the younger tier by having access to higher tier work but, overall it has caused many more problems than has solved.
From my school days it was the gifted [in general] who went on to further education which i feel is the way it should be. As i have found out later in life its never too late to return.

sorry for going abit off track.

Paul.
