Academic qualification affects success.

First of all I would like to say that while we are debating on 'academic qualification' I believe it is irrelevant to say that "most educational bodies do not promote an education as IB learner profile suggest" because IB learner profile is approved from a lot of quality education bodies[1]. If we are debating about "qualification" we cannot say that IB learners or students with same quality will be as successful as other students. As our topic is "Academic qualification affects success." it is a quite strong prove to show academic qualification affects success. As my opponent has also mentioned education is a key statement for job interviews. That's why academically qualified students will be more successful in job interviews since they are knowledgeable, thinker, communicator etc... Secondly I would like to say that search engines such as Google can give you more than two thousand websites and you can find countless answers. However it is usually very hard to distinguish the correct information and only the students that learned how to research something well will select the correct and useful information. My opponent has also mentioned this in their speech. However it will be excessively ironic if we say that this makes the results of most researches strikingly similar as my opponent has just said. Those students that haven't taken a lesson about how to research something will not simply distinguish the correct and useful information. That's why their research will be more general and unreliable while academically qualified students' research is quite specific and trustworthy. This is the reason why we read scientific articles from researches of several universities but we are sceptical about some others'. A reliable research causes differences between two learners. I am really confused because my opponent said that educational systems are similar to bakeries that make the same type of cake everyday. Some countries such as Japan has quite tough examination systems to eliminate some students[2][3]. Moreover could my opponent please explain the reason of the huge amounts of requirements in order to apply to some universities such as MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Oxford etc... [4][5][6][7] I can simply explain it: because those universities provide quality educational systems which will squarely affect students' success. That's why those universities simply eliminate thousands of students to distinguish the correct ones by using interviews, essays, biographical forms, exams (SAT, ACT, TOEFL etc...). Educational systems are like bakeries. Students are the customers of them, some buy the correct cookies and eat them but some just buy expensive candies and waste their money. The "money" metaphor refers to "time". Some students waste their time but some of them study and practice. Those students that have studied and practiced will be academically qualified ones and they will be successful in their job interviews. Lastly I would like to ask that: can they even think that a student which has graduated from MIT and a student which has graduated from a random high schools are the same? Will their success in their job interviews or in life be the same? I reckon everybody including my honorable opponent know the answer.
