I'll say it used to be that way just because some time ago exposure to information was quite low. But for now, there's more exposure to info than you can think of.

Developers in Africa mostly these days are self-taught but the only difference between the self-taught developer and a University student is the fact that most of the self-taught developers turn out to be just coders with no interest of self-learning some crazy mathematics or algorithms.

And when it comes to our Universities, we are introduced to more info(even AI) we need to become very experienced and fit the market but the problem is rather with most of our students, we mostly learn for grades and when there are no more grades to be attained, we quit learning. bAD hABIT :(
