America ranks 48 in education in the world. None of your discussions will improve the quality of education in America.
How does the second sentence follow from the first?

America has a problem with its educational system. That is why it is ranked 48 in the world. None of your discussions will improve the quality of education in America.

No, but the policy might if it were implemented.

Increasing the admission rate will not improve the education standard. You were discussing admission rates and cost.

Consolidating all the best resources and teachers in one curriculum and giving everyone access to it might improve the education standard. Also lowering the cost of college would allow more people to attend. Those are likely indirect effects of my proposal.

Biden tried lowering the cost of education by college grants and hiring better quality teachers. But that did not change the ranking.

That's a small change and will take a while to actually take effect. Jumping a rank takes a while, and much of that is measuring the effects of primary and elementary education, not education in specialized fields.

If they accept everyone and give virtual degrees, this would be a bit like Facebook having millions of users.
virtual degrees are really the only way this could be feasible, along with the introduction of AI for grading
