This is a version of free gifted education but more focused on university.
This is Ciro Santilli's ideal university system. It is a system that actually lives up to the name "Open University":
- no enrolment, no prerequisites. Exam as a service examination style, likely free to anyone who wants to take them, only to determine:
- who gets to use physical facilities, notably laboratories
 - which students do you want to pick as apprentices/workers/PhDs
 
 - no tuition fees: free gifted education
 - school must offer free accommodation for students
 - force teachers to publish their teaching material with an open license
 - how to teach

Apparently Leeds based. Focused only on student fees seemingly, not how to solve it with tech/efficiency: 
So far as of the early 2020's, the university that comes closest to some but not all of these principles is the University of the People. It's sad that it's such a crappy unknown thing, but it is what it is.
