Same problem in the US. Compsci education has been an absolute joke at both colleges I've been to (a community college then state university). The entire thing can feel downright fraudulent at times when you're writing yet another crappy implementation of merge sort in Java as part of a class you're taking one semester before graduating and your classmate can't figure out why their class with all the fields marked as static doesn't work when two instances are made of it. I haven't had to extend an iota beyond bare minimal effort to get any of my A's in compsci classes. It's almost always been the "professor" just checking that your program gives the right output but making you print it out anyway so they can draw a checkmark on it or some other horse baloney. At least I've been able to get real experience doing things on my own.
