Oh yeah, I completely agree. An ideal education system needs to be something that is more open to everyone and able to teach people at different levels and for different purposes. Have courses for vocational skills and courses for more academic/theoretical type learning. The factory model of education is obsolete.

It's not the old factory model at all. It's the model taken from competitive sports.
It is superior in employing talent but leaves many broken people ultimately resulting in social costs.
Short name: rat race.
Old factory model provided identical education, relatively broad, to everyone (zero help if you got stuck) - and provided single vocational education on top. (Including research vocations.)
Yet more ancient one started with a trade education based on propinquity; rather than scouting and filtering.
