How a whole country is shooting itself in the head

It has been one week since the results of the “Baccalaureate” exam were announced in Algeria, and without surprise, it was a mess.

Following my last week’s article and since I grew up and lived my whole life in Algeria, it is best for me to give its educational system as a concrete example since I am not really familiar with other countries.

In Algeria, you go through three major phases before getting to college: primary, middle, and high school. You go to primary school at the age of 6 (switched now to 5), and you spend there 6 (switched now to 5) years, then you have 4 years in middle school, and 3 in high school, and during your 3rd year, you have a nationwide exam, usually in early June, called the Baccalaureate (or BAC) where you have between 8 to 10 exams depending on your major

"This may shock you but law careers are for the ones who do not do well in BAC as opposed to the U.S. ecosystem where it is prestigious to study law".
Very surprising and interesting because it means that prestige and what we value is relative to the society you live in.
I've got that feeling that it's changing in France where being a lawyer or a physician, mayor isn't as prestigious as it used to be.

Exactly, another example is computer science engineers, they are seen as people that can only fix your computer, ignoring the fact that the current IT infrastructure is more than computers.
