The problem starts at college level. Our science education in the Universities aims at making "everyone pass". So the syllabus, teaching and examination are all oriented towards that. Maybe we want statistics to show our high number of science graduates. But still, we are shamefully low down in the human dev index list. So might as well give good education and forget the pass percentage. This way, we may get a few excellent universities capable of attracting top students and thereby attracting top researchers.
