Think you 2 are pretty much saying the same thing.
Of course it's right and beneficial for all that talented people get the opportunity to pursue those talents as far as they possibly can, regardless of their background.
Don't want to put words into asm's mouth but if he feels the same as me, there are a lot of people who would benefit by NOT going into higher education.
Instead those same talents could be better employed elsewhere and generally 'on the job'. Don't get me wrong. NVQ's and the like have their place but a lot of them seem to be taught by people who have no clue. As do a lot of degree courses unfortunately.
The dilution is more on the teaching side than the students.
EDIT - I have the deepest respect for the good teachers / mentors.
