We’re talking about the British education system yeah? The one that thought education of the traditional working class could be outsourced to Eastern Europe?
There has been an almost deliberate policy to disregard the education of non-academic pupils for many years. Politicians were complicit in creating a situation where employers could reduce wages because the required basic skills were not available locally. There has been no improvement for all as far as I can see. We have a lot to learn from places like Finland but whatever we call ourselves these days I doubt we will. They (and we) are reaping the rewards now.
