I read a great arti­cle on the fail­ings of mod­ern edu­ca­tion in this rapidly evolv­ing world. The author states

Web site devel­op­ment experts said in a recent sur­vey that col­leges and uni­ver­si­ties lag behind in using the lat­est in web design tech­nol­ogy and ignore foun­da­tional lessons that would pro­duce col­lege grad­u­ates ready for the rapidly chang­ing profession.

I can attest to this. Hav­ing recently grad­u­ated from higher edu­ca­tion (recently mean­ing within the past 5 years.) They teach to much about the tool in front of you and not enough about the method­ol­ogy behind why the tool works in the first place.
