Not surprised to see these statistics.
It’s always been known that the people who get marks, are studious, and the ones who only respond to information being fed to them, have a different set of challenges when they go out into the world where it’s for each one to figure things out on their own.
Taking decisions, innovating when you are in a corner, and saying no to things you are convinced about are behaviours not rewarded by our schooling system, but are called ‘life skills’ when you are out there.
