“If you intersect the different aspects—the fall in recruitment, the demographic time bomb, the fact that a lot of departments have one computing science teacher, which makes them very vulnerable, and so on—I think that it is fair to say that we are in difficulty.”

🚨What makes Computing Science tick? Our STACS survey to understand what makes CS tick goes LIVE Monday! Help identify key factors. All findings will be shared with the STACS community to inform and empower teachers, ultimately benefiting our pupils.

Our school thrives off-grid, a daily lesson in resourcefulness. Yet, our curriculum often feels geared for a world that no longer exists. If education is truly about preparing young minds for the future, shouldn't it mirror the innovation and adaptability we live every day?
