Can we choose the ratio ourselves, based on what we want to achieve after finishing our education?
I agree with the point that a good base of knowledge is crucial (according to ppp23) and I also agree with bb254 that the current 70/30 ration doesn’t provide enough “real-world” knowledge for a student entering the industrial workforce. Because we all have different opinions and different goals, can the students choose the path that they want to follow: industry vs. academia and the ratio can be catered to those choices. Furthermore,choices and career path may change throughout one’s lifetime career. Therefore, courses that incorporate a few skills/tools such as time-management, discipline, how to handle stress …are useful in every world.
