The students are revolting

The reason for India's strength in the IT area is because they have cheated in their exams and reduced their degrees to nothing more than fit to wipe your arse with. That and the fact that they're cheap.


A false economy.

Most of the Bobs I've come into contact with couldn't possibly have degrees in anything other than how to blag your way into a banking coder job.

How can you know this? (Its the first time I have heard this to be honest) I am working with some bobs now and although they are not the best devs I ever worked with, they are certainly not the worst.

Again it's a case of out of touch millionaire Tory Cabinet ministers assuming that the "norm" is that Daddy pays for your University education and that you can therefore buy your way in to your University of choice.

Another sad example of everything in life being reduced down to the level of economic units. The reason for India's strength in the IT area is because they have invested heavily in it.

Who has invested heavily and in what ? India governement you mean ? or some one else?

Go out of urban areas in India and you will struggle to get broadband. Even in urban areas people are on dialup.

Do you get free higher education ? **** no, you also pay fees unless you are really poor.

Nobody has relaly invested heavily in IT, big IT companies have pocketed the cash and pay their employees meagre wages.

Really? I asked the previous poster how they know that all indian IT degrees are worthless toilet paper. I then stated that I work with a bunch of indian devs who are of average quality (based on the code I have seen). I have worked with english devs who have turned in code so bad it hurts your eyes and makes you wonder how they even got a job as a coder.

As I understand it, all parties have been in favour of increasing student fees. Including Labour.

I bet at their call centre in Delhi it's pretty good.

You are not serious ! Houses in rural Wales with no electricity and running water can get broadband.
