While I agree with your proposition, I think we have an even bigger problem of failing to utilise the tools we already have. I am thinking particularly of open source and Linux. It baffles me that university students in IT and computer science can barely pronounce "Linux" let alone set up a LAMP server. I have had the opportunity to work with many NUST students and students from other universities around the country. Most of these students have been very sharp and quick learners, but the fact they come with little to no skill in Linux is proof of how the universities are not serving them well.
