    Brantuo, this is foolish talk! Is everyone supposed to have a university degree?
    If you don't have the academic capabilities needed for a degree, you withdraw and find something else to do.

    This is a natural extension of the free SHS concept, as understood by its supporters. The idea of mass education and grades be damned! The chutzpah that makes a JHS student with aggregate 48 feel entitled to the same spot in ...

    As much as I sympathize with the affected students, the notion that everybody has the right to education must be put in the right context. Rights go with responsibility. The student has the right to gain admission, but they n ...

    Rights to education end with high school, or better still the junior high. Anything beyond that is a privilege. Who will high a graduate with a gpa below 1.0 anyway? If the students did not find their enrollment crucial e ...

    Education can only be acheived by learning, which in turn is assessed by grades. You can't educste persons unwilling or unable to. University education is not for everyone, and they may better achieve in other endeavours.
