Do Elite Colleges Lead to Higher Salaries? Only for Some Professions
One thing I always think about is to completely separate the &quot;educational&quot; institutes from the &quot;certificate emitting&quot; ones. Currently, it is the university&#x27;s job to not only educate, but also to prove the student was educated (through the certificate&#x2F;diploma). Wouldn&#x27;t it be much more flexible if educational institutes focused only in <i>educating</i>, while other (unrelated) institutes focused only in testing and emitting certificates? This way, _how_ the individual learns the subject does not matter, as long as he or she is able to get certified.<p>This is what already happens in (at least part of) the technical certificate industry: people pay to make tests and get certified. This seems like a more intelligent approach.
