"Elite Education System Fails to Meet Nation's Needs: A System Built for the Few, Not the Many. The US higher education system has long been plagued by a glaring disparity - a tiny fraction of students are accepted into its most prestigious institutions, leaving the vast majority to fend for themselves. With a paltry 4.2% acceptance rate, the system's elite tier is more focused on exclusivity than accessibility, raising concerns about its ability to meet the country's growing need for educated and skilled workers. As the nation grapples with the challenges of a rapidly changing economy, it's clear that a drastic overhaul of the system is needed to ensure that education is accessible to all, not just the privileged few."
A system built around a 4.2% acceptance rate was never designed to educate at the scale the country needs.
