Czech have similar system. It is easy to get into technical university if you know some math. Real hard are humanities, some art schools take perhaps 0.5% of applicants.

Wow, 0.5%! What does the market for Czech art-school graduates look like? Is there more demand than supply?

Not sure about market. Most musicians and painters I know are self educated and have daily job.

University does not have monopoly, one can always pay for private university (which is not that expensive). But state university is highly selective and most prestigious.
