Another is the artificial separation of the arts and the sciences. So we end up with engineers and scientists (who anyway lack the rigour and scepticism of science) without an understanding of the social sciences of behavioural psychology, economics, philosophy or literature
Equally we have arts graduates with limited understanding of science or biology, and even less about scientific method and scepticism. Of course those who never get to school or do not progress beyond primary school are left behind altogether.
