Pascal,
Concerning the change in mentalities - I have finished the study in
computer sciences at the 'Fachhochschule Bern, Biel/Bienne' this January
and have still a very clear picture of our education system and the
trial to link the universities with the economy. Most of the current
professors who give lessons have no idea what economy really is. They
expect the economy to be the same economy which is described in theory.
As long as we have so many unsolved problems and changes with our school
system, a reasonable link with the economy does not seem to be possible.
Right now, a lot of new things are going on at least at the
'Fachhochschul' system. Not few of the students are tired of these
changes and demotivated. Right now, a lot of the new students in
computer sciences have the only goal to pass the school and surely not
to change anything new.
Changes in mentalities come from the people. As long as the people are
told what theory tells and as long as they do not need to take any
responsibility already in school, changes in this direction will be very
difficult.
Of course this is only my opinion.
