Not that it means a lot today, imho, cause many Universities etc are just place where you learn to do a job like in the past you would have learned it at the blacksmith shop. Today I see way too many people with a high level of degree but with a very poor and shameful culture.
Like people who attended [i]some kind[/i] of Universities...
I personally met many people like this, and I have them in my friend circle (I still love them, but they're just ignorant I can't help it LOL).
People representatives of a high professional status gained thanks to studies (???) but with a almost nonexistent cultural level. When I talk with them of some topics, sometimes I think about talking of the same with my grandparents which have only attended the primary school and they are way more educated... Lot more.

Maybe it's also about the fact my grandparents are really aware of what having a culture means, and they've read a lot, went to theatre, and explored a lot in life, while my friend (Yeah I'm talking about you "C") did't open a single book or newspaper since he attended his degree more than 10 years ago...

It's weird cause it makes me think about the actual level of our Universities... And I also know very educated people that studied in the same places, so, it's just weird. Maybe I should blame previous school levels, but how these people attended the Uni exams?

LOL sorry about this, I supposed to open just a poll, cuz after all I'm curious about Education, as well as I like to ask about other things I find interesting.
So, here we go. 📚

what you call high school because we in those shithole countries call it intermediate

@SW-User Yeah different country different system. In my country we don't have College or A-level (it means Advanced I suppose? Advanced what? Such a generic term) we call it something like high school, but there are some difference even between high schools, the more work oriented are just high schools, the one that prepares you with a deeper knowledge, and that generally are a natural step before the University are the Lyceums.
Also we do different years of primary-secondary school compared to other places.
