The teaching of ICT in English and Welsh schools is 20 years out of date, according to a leading expert. Dr Mike Short, president of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), said the lack of an adequate curriculum has left an entire generation of young people unable to understand the technology that plays such a prominent role in their lives. “The current school ICT syllabus is not appropriate for the digital generation,” he claimed. He added that teaching computer science as a subject in its own right will be essential in order to ensure “our future workforce is equipped to design, build and maintain the next generation of infrastructure, systems and products”.
