School, college and university are ways to move up in education/life, not ways to get where you want to be in life.
I don't agree with that exams shouldn't decide your fate. Exams are important and show your knowledge of a subject.
I don't know where he got his facts from but Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, etc. were actually educated. Not necessarily in the fields they are currently doing, but were educated in some way shape or form.

In the UK, It's the exact same, the majority of it is memorizing. I like learning, but having to memorizing something for an exam isn't learning. Hell, some of the teachers even said things like memorizing "x" should be enough to pass.
Learning should be more logic based.
Nor do I! But unfortunately 'tis often reality. Sure you've got to memorize shit, but that's just the way it is. As much as we'd like it to change, it never will.
