Trailing

I was watching the news as I was having lunch and very apreensively listened to two reports, one on the level of studies and the other on the "easyness" of starting a business (starting or running) .
In the first one we are the worst country of the ones studied. On average, our students spend 8 years studying, and only 10% finish university. 10%!!!!! Well, I keep hearing friends telling me, well now everybody goes to university so someday we will have educated trashmen.
Point numer one I don't see the problem, I would love to have educated trashmen.
Point number two looks like after all, we don't have that many people in uni.
Point number three I don't even know the numbers when it comes to skill studies, or professionalising studies.... that would be a shock for sure.
Comin to the second study, we are the most bureaucratic, slow, and complicated country when it comes to creating a copany (I can proof this myself), in the EU only France and Italy are behind us.
Once again we are trailing Europe......
