This suggests that concepts of "success" increasingly direct education to greater specialisation and preparation for HE. Are there other measures of success?

As the old saying goes, "You can't make a purse out of a sow's ear."

@Peter Pedant -- Thanks! You're totally right -- my mistake for inadvertently omitting a word from that saying.

My pleasure. Happy to help.
