Computing in Schools – Shut down or restart

A new report by the Royal Society – Shut Down or Restart? – recommends that a radical overhaul of the ICT curriculum is needed, together with support for more specialist teachers and the development of qualifications that can motivate and inspire the next generation.

The Computing in Schools project http://royalsociety.org/education/policy/computing-in-schools/ looked at the current provision of education in Computing in UK schools, informed by evidence gathered from individuals and organisations with an interest in computing.

The final report Shut down or restart?: The way forward for computing in UK schools was published on 13 January 2012.
