I don't know if our IT courses are any better. I think where ever you are in the world, you're going to find some schools have different strong points than others.
It wasn't so much the quality of the school, as the crappy syllabus, which probably at least a quarter of the schools in the country would be following.
(Dunno how things over there work, but over here we have a handful of institutions which write the exams, and essentially say "teach this, don't teach that". I think there are only three main ones, and it was one of them that told the school what the IT course should involve.)
It's GCSE (Secondary school) level (also A-Levels (Sixth form/college) work that way) which I think is the same as High school, so yeah.
And yeah, at University level they decide on their own stuff here.
