I think a person who has completed the first year in college should get some recognition that he or she could build on later. There should be much more flexibility in the system. One should be able to move all over the system at different periods of one's life. If we had that flexibility there would be less focus on availing of the once-off opportunity to get an education, and being finished if one does not go on at that stage.
