Really interesting, valuable contribution. I was happy to interview Tad Hirsch of TXTmob the other day and I am always fascinated to find out how mobile tech is working in this way.

Laura, this post, as all which are you created, has very interesting topic.
There was a similar situation in Serbia several years ago when Vojislav Seselj, leader extreme nationalistic Serbian radical party (SRS), during the 90’s very close fellow Slobodan Milosevic and now Hague’s prisoner, propagated idea (currently I can not remember whether it was an official proposal to Serbia’s Parliament) about the elimination of admission test to get into state’s Universities.
According to majority of public opinion this idea had a daily political character and It was a cheap demagogic attempt changing of SRS’s raiting was quite swung after takeing over power by democratic forces on October 5 2000.
(About this date you can see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slobodan_Milo%C5%A1evi%C4%87)
Of course, there is still admission test at Universities for all who want to be students in Serbia.
I think that admission test is the first level of sellection of knowledge, no an examination of social justice or democracy or, what it was case in Serbia, classical demagogy.
