Maybe this article is missing some important details but I don't see how having a special university is going to help the problem of getting more technical talent into government work.
There are already tons of government scholarship programs with strings attached in the form of post graduation service requirements and other hiring funnels that bring in new graduates. The government's problem isn't hiring new grads it's keeping those people once they get a few years experience. The biggest drain is probably government contracting companies who often offer literally twice the salary for the same work. Combine that with the soul sucking aspects that you would find at any large company and you have the perfect recipe for not being able to recruit and retain qualified mid career people.
It's hard to imagine how any amount of indoctrination in the ideals of public service at a special school will overcome those things without something else changing.
