The Department for Education (DfE) has just announced that Computer Science is to be added to the new English Baccalaureate or EBacc. The EBacc is a series of new qualifications to replace the GCSEs that English kids take at 16, designed to be more rigorous than the existing standards.

This is an enormous curricular change for England, which has traditionally recognised only Physics, Biology and Chemistry as core science subjects. Computer Science is now on a level footing with those subjects, carrying the same weight and prestige, and having an equal impact on choices pupils can make later about A Levels and University courses. This is wonderful news.

Michael Gove, the Education Secretary, said today:

It is great news that Google is helping the brilliant 男生和女生一起差差差在线观看 Pi project. We are replacing the old-fashioned ICT 男生和女生一起差差差app with a Computer Science 男生和女生一起差差差app. This will combine with the 男生和女生一起差差差在线观看 Pi project to spread teaching of computer coding which is so educationally and economically vital.

The new Computer Science 男生和女生一起差差差app replaces the old ICT 男生和女生一起差差差app, discontinued last year. The old ICT courses did not prepare students for studying Computer Science at university (or for much else); we’re delighted to see their replacement being treated as a proper, exacting academic subject. There’s a statement from the DfE that you can read in full over at their website; it’s worth a look.

What specifics would you like to see included in a new CompSci 男生和女生一起差差差app?
