It is about time. What a massive failure of a policy. Competition does not make more students successful or make for better students, it gives incentives to schools to lower standards and it turns knowledge into digestible but forgettable facts. Those that succeed are those that actually give a crap, there is no use catering to those that just want to sit there, do no homework and pass with D's and C's.
