[kictanet] Coding is the new literacy (5-7 year olds)

[robert yawe]

Hi Listers,

I believe the innuendo going on on the issue of the laptops is a blessing in disguise and we need to take advantage of this window of opportunity to make sure what is implemented will be the basis of transformer education as we know it.

While the developed world is training their toddlers on coding we are getting them to use high level applications and we shall then expect them to be globally competitive when they start coding in university a time when the formation of new brain cell connections is slowing down.

Hope that Victor's confirmation at the authority will give him the confidence to take charge of this process.

Regards
