Factories, offices, whatever..these people have no need of a truly educated populace. In fact, they view that as a very real threat to their power.

So, per usual, they have designed an alternative (to the public education crisis THEY CREATED) that they are seeking to bring about and to control, that is a win-win for corporatism. They get neutered worker bees, and they get all the profits--both from/of their education, and their life-long labors.
