Agreed. The educational system must begin to operate on the principle of supply and demand... creating more seats for advanced academics, rather than rationing seats via lottery, excessive qualification testing, etc. Artificially restricting advanced academics is unconscionable. It is possible to offer advanced academics to all who may need or benefit from them.
