Years of time spent in school ≠ education level.

You can spend lots of time there and still be dumb as a rock that learned many things but didn't understand any of them. On the contrary you can have people that got the short end of the stick and got cut off from further time in education that are really smart.

The just important thing a teacher explained to us: our university's core business is handing out diplomas. That's where they get their financing. Everything else is just a cost. That's probably why the level was as so low and I could redo all my failed tests until I passed. Most of my school time I spent looking out of the widow, bored.

It's so different from other countries where they actually teach. But somehow our diplomas as worth the same.
