I'm self taught as far as web development and programming skills are concerned. But to some degree, it feels like that was really the only option over here in the UK. Okay, things have apparently improved significantly in the last few years, and schools are seemingly teaching a few more things actually considered programming now, but back when I was learning HTML and CSS and Javascript and all that stuff in the early 00s, the standard of teaching in the IT classes at school and sixth form was absolutely dreadful, and it likely didn't get much better at university. GCSE classes for IT were literally 'how to use Microsoft Office was dummies' and A level course were basically devoid of programming tasks. As a result you basically had to teach yourself, since there's no way in hell your school education would teach useful skills for any sort of development and you'd likely struggle significantly to go from there to a degree level.
