The developed countries like to pat their own back praising the quality of their educated people. Education became an end in itself in developed countries. Developed countries’ primary schools can’t keep their students longer there. But as soon as they complete it they are on their way to the next step. But once in graduate school; he or she will be held there for as long as the school needs them. The number of people finishing high school is diminishing. The higher education institution in order not to shrink try to keep students there for as a long as they can hold them.

“Graduate school became a growth industry, and the university largely became a closed system, preparing people for its own continuation and perpetuation. Drucker, P.,Toward the Next Economics, New York, Harper and Row, 1981.

“There is little evidence that jobs have become more demanding. In English-speaking Canada, for ex-ample, banks have recruited college graduates for entrance level positions for the last twenty years, and now tend to demand an additional master of business administration degree. But in French-speaking Quebec, where education revolution came quite a bit later, the same Canadian banks hire high school grad-uates for entrance positions—and these French-Canadians are no less productive, no less prepared, no less equal to demands of the job than their English-speaking colleagues to the west who have sat in school for an additional four to six years.” Drucker, P., Managing in Turbulent Times, New York, Harper & Row, 1980.
