the merit would be learning fueled by self motivation. This would lead to more enthusiastic students and more substantive work being done. The problem i see is in determining whether a graduate has learned sufficiently to offer services with the skills they have acquired in college. Based on this i would propose rather than a standardized exam for all students, a practical, problem based exam would be better. For example: on completing college, a graduate may have a compulsory 1 year internship in a relevant sector where they are expected to apply the skills learned. On successful completion of the internship the graduate is awarded their degree.
The problem is that most people do not understand what schooling is supposed to be. They are so fully indoctrinated in the slave school system that it takes a while to learn what traditional schooling was. Here are a book and an essay to help you understand:

Another eye opening piece is the book "Dress For Success" by John Molloy. He has a lot of advice for students, and it has no resemblance to guidance you get from school counselors:
1. Vocal skill will affect your earning power more than any other single detail.
2. Acting skill will get you a job offer even if you are not qualified for the job.
3. The most important thing you get from your college years is your address book.
4. The main difference between a successful man and a very successful man is the latter knows hundreds more people, and he knows them quite well.
Plan your schooling accordingly.
