I do not know how things look in New Zealand, but I would argue that, on average, very little critical thinking is thought in university or college. In neither the humanities or STEM.

I think good professors that focus on that are the exception and not the rule, sadly.

I am in New Zealand

I have been through the university system here, my family still closely involved

A great deal of critical thinking happens in New Zealand universities


I'm a New Zealander. I got a degree in Philosophy and entered a Masters in Computer Science here. I definitely learned a lot about critical thinking. Both from humanities and sciences - I think the combination is probably superior to either in isolation
