M. K. Yadava talked about the current sad state of computer education in schools and colleges. He says that the current curriculum makes students the users of expensive and subpar software and raises them as consumers. He talks about the need of revamping the education system to include open source software and concepts so that they can code and build better software and know about their internals.
