“Starting four years from now, only 1800 top learners will be exempted”

That scares me. We all know that “top learner” is very arbitrary. At only 18 years old, the only thing people will be measuring is raw IQ, like a college SAT. It will not measure yiras shamayim. Some people only start to bloom later in life (at least mid 20’s). With such a close knit society- who your parents are and what connections you have is going to be a deciding factor as well.
