Hit the nail on the head with this! Most formal education leaves students unprepared for the realities of work. Informal education(camps, courses) are no better at this, but at least they don't cost as much.

Hopefully we find a good solution for this before we fail many more generations of learners...

Thanks for the positive feedback :)
Well, I believe we getting better, but I still complain that we are not fast enough. Someone already mentioned in the comments that there is no uni book that he knows which put testing as a necessary skill for the software developer, but industry definitely has a high demand for this and many other skills which uni. do not provide.
