They did seem to think that it's a problem for schools to fail students.

They didn't say that either.

What they did say is that the school sometimes fails students to get more money — supposedly implying that this was not because they did not meet the passing criteria.

This does not preclude failing students when they deserve it.

It is ok to question of what makes them believe they would have passed the exams without this financial motivation for the school, but they were pretty clear IMO.
