True.
Please answer my simple question - How many schools, colleges, universities are 
functioning in this world? What is the purpose of these institutions?

That is not such a huge problem that cannot be solved. First of all there are 
not many graduates around. The filtering can happen at the point of issuing 
voter-id cards. Lets cross the bridge when we get to the bridge.
