In response to the government’s consultation on the curriculum reform, we believe it’s time to transform how computing is taught in schools to make it more engaging, relevant, and future-proof. Our MD for Education and Public Benefit, Julia Adamson MBE, explains: "The computing curriculum is too abstract and unmotivating, lacking real-world connections to global challenges. At Key Stage 3 and GCSE, we must modernize it to include AI, data, and their transformative potential." We believe every young person should leave school digitally literate—with a qualification that goes beyond basic skills and equips them to critically navigate the risks and opportunities of digital technology. 📊 Our full response to the curriculum review 👉https://hubs.ly/Q02ZRw9c0 #ComputingEducation #DigitalSkills
