Open for all
This is in effect the comprehensive principle common in Scottish secondary schools, extended to tertiary education. Competitive learning and examinations in secondary schools would be replaced with what “co-operative learning.” The emphasis is upon self-motivation as the key to choosing to go to college or university.
Hence, self-selection frees admission procedures from any possibility of “statistical discrimination” such as home and school post codes.
