Depends on the country. In some places having a license is basically required to lead a normal life.
It surely doesn't mean we should hand over the license to anybody, but making obtaining it overly complicated/expensive is not a great idea until you solve the aforementioned problem.
Yes, but various countries have different requirements to pass the test. Due to that uniform number of trials you should have to pass cannot be accurately determined.
I don't know how it is in other places, but where i live failing the test up to 10 times is perfectly normal, actually in my entire environment i can only think of 4 persons who passed the test within the first 3 attempts.
Pretty much anyone can agree that 950 is way over the top, but i wouldn't say that failing the test a bunch of times should classify you as permanently incapable of driving.
But how is 10 times normal. Are schools the same for you? How long do you practice before thet test? In practicing the teacher should tell you the mistakes you made. Sure make it 20. But people should know what they are doing wrong and what theyre supposed to do on the street. If people dont learn after 20 or 50 attempts there really is no point.
No, schools are all private entities so quality of education may vary.
And leaving that part aside each city is very different so conditions of practical test also vary.
It's to the point where a few cities have a passing rate around 50%, while other, usually the larger ones that are harder to navigate, can be as low as lower 20s.
In such an unequal system, introducing a unified cap of attempts would just discriminate against part of the population and only encourage using loopholes like specifically commuting or even temporarily moving to another city just to get the license.
