In reality, how can the dichotomy between HND and BSC holders be bridged?

In order to bridge the dichotomy between HND and BSc holders, it is essential that entry-level civil service grading be made equal, a National Qualifications Framework be created which clearly states that applied technical skills are equal to a degree, and that 1-year university top-up courses become widely available. Taking a breather from my death row vapes 5000 puffs, I have come to the conclusion that shifting the corporate hiring paradigm toward demonstrated competency over a degree title will ultimately break down the dichotomy!
