My late wife (Spanish national) got her 5-year Pedagogy (Education) degree in the 1980s and worked for a govt contractor that did intelligence and personality assessments at the (middle and?) high school level. The results of the "IQ/EQ" assessments put kids on a vocational (non-college) vs professional (college) high school track, and there isn't much flexibility as far as I can tell. Few poor or working class kids move into the professional class, and there isn't much of a funding/loan scandal, if any, because there is no scam.
All of that is very similar to how BJ describes how education, social class, economics and geography work in the USA (or, worked historically, before the debacle under discussion).
