agreed that this is also indoctrination

having said that, it's a company initiative so the decision is/should be up to the stakeholders (execs, board, shareholders, etc)

Hmm.
I have two main issues with this. Meritocracy can only be really achieved with a fully transparent processs. A true level playing field. Seems doubtful.
Secondly: presenting yourself as an alternative to indoctrination often simply means you want to indoctrinate people with the opposite opinion.

if it's for relevant technical or hard skills, i think good companies can, should and do fill that gap as is necessary for their productivity and bottom lines

but if it's general ed higher learning, then it's probably for the best that corporations do not do it as it'll prolly always be poorly budgeted and unproductive for all involved 😂

I don't get why corporations can't fill the gap of higher learning

i think it'll still take a bit more time to be fully desocialized from being seen as "mandatory"

fmy own wife is already laser focusing on how to optimize options for our kids (which for her is university in the US) and the oldest isn't even 10 yet 🥲

When my oldest (now 17) was born, I said that I hoped/expected college to be totally different (maybe unnecessary) but the time he got to that age. Even then, it was clear that the system was fatally flawed, it was just a question of how long it would take to lose its primary position. 

I was a bit ambitious on my timing, but not far off.
