[Harry Potter] How do even the specialists on muggle culture and technology know almost nothing when there are muggle-born witches and wizards?

I call for an overhaul of the section of the Ministry which deals with muggles and their inventions.

Muggles seem completely foreign to the wizarding world, but there are muggle-born individuals such as Hermoine who were raised until 11 by muggle parents. While they may not leave for Hogwarts with much muggle knowledge, they have the basics, and come to the wizarding world free from the taint of our knowledge.

In addition they were raised in muggle culture, and even if they knew they were different, they most likely did things the other kids did, went to muggle talking pictures, played muggle ball, etc etc.

Especially in Hermoine's case, the dedicated student she is, she appears the perfect candidate to advance muggle studies quite a bit, and if she were so inclined, it would not be very out of character for her to continue essentially continuing studying muggle math and science because she can, or for another individual, because homesickness and familiarity drive them to specialize in muggle studies in service of the wizards.

And what about Squibs? Surely they could be employed to teach muggle subjects to wizards who are in charge of studying muggles. Just pay them a little gold and set up a simple charm to detect if the teacher is telling the truth to prevent sabotage.

The Ministry has never had a very large compliment of staff for these studies, but for Ravenclaw's sake, we could at least have a competent one. In all the years muggle-born witches and wizards have existed, why have we not taken advantage of this resource right under our noses?

Well, this is a bit awkward.  Even though nobody comes out and says it, the Ministry is still pretty heavy on the "blood purity" thing.  The entire muggle department is a concession from years ago to quiet down some rabble-rousers and has been nothing more than a dumping ground for less-than-useful employees.  Getting anyone to see it as anything other than a joke or a punishment detail is next to impossible with the current round of staffing at the Ministry.
