Utter nonsense of course, and needless to say it does not lie with the system, but with the ethnic cultures involved.
Ethnicity has nothing to do with it, Herbie.
Oh shít, NOW I'm in trouble - and I was doing so well too.
... er ... yes it DOES have a significant bearing upon the study ethic in the home due to the inherent culture that comes with different ethnic backgrounds.
I know this for a FACT from my observations over many decades of having worked among a score of different immigrant ethnic nationalities.

Let me remind you: The top 1 percent owns one third; the top 10 percent of that owns 60 percent of all wealth, while the bottom 30 percent of the population owns squat or in in massive perceptual debt.
Such social inequality will no doubt reflect itself in any educational system.
Hang on! - get back on the subject, please - you're rabbiting on about something entirely different here. You're back on your Socialist obsession again.
We're talking about how cultural background influences attitude towards study and self-improvement until a professional standard is reached through TAFE or university.
