In technology, programming work is about looking up, composing, and debugging code. I yet have to meet one person who learned it at school.
In the school environment, the emphasis is, has always been, and will always be, to repeat things from memory.
If the IT teacher were good at looking up, composing, and debugging, and given the kind of salaries you that get when you are good at that, he would not be teaching. He would seek to multiply his income often ten times by actually doing it, instead of teaching it.
In fact, you can only learn from people who are doing it themselves. Everybody else does not really know how to do it.
Therefore, the teacher is only good at what will give you beautiful credentials: repeating from memory. That is also what he will seek to perpetuate with his own students.
Formal education does not only NOT fix poverty. Formal education actively creates it. Instead of spending your formative years learning the skill that will make you gain income, you learn to repeat from memory. There is not one industry where this would be of value.
You need to be able to produce things of value, just to survive. It is exceedingly dangerous to spend all your time on things that will never produce any value at all.
