“We have seen the trends over the past two decades with the subject going into a dramatic decline. If it is left to decline further we will reach the point of no return." #savecomputingscience heraldscotland.com/business_hq/19…

Let's close the tech #skills gap! Our Critical Friends programme links Computing teachers with industry mentors for support to encourage pupils into the subject. Now seeking mentors for Lanarkshire schools, get in touch: [email protected] DYW Glasgow DYW Lanarkshire & East Dunbartonshire

Dear ScotGov Education @KateForbesMSP Jamie Hepburn MSP Shirley-Anne Somerville Please help! For Scotland to become a digital nation we need to nurture, encourage and inspire the next generation of tech talent. This starts at schools! Serious intervention is needed to #SaveComputingScience

Software Development and Web Design is part of our Computing Science curriculum. The demand for jobs like this is just going to continue to grow. Inspiring pupils at an early age is vital to Scotland producing more home grown talent with these skills! #SaveComputingScience

Once young women do choose computing they generally outperform their male counterparts (new report by @BCS). However, girls are now outnumbered six to one by boys across computer science classes. bcs.org/articles-opini… Ada Scotland Festival, Toni Scullion

The "fear" of returning to school after holidays or on a Sunday night are not because of teaching. We love working with young people and colleagues. It's the "fear" of knowing from moment one how relentless the job is for the next few months 1/6

Job postings in Scotland "Programmers & software development professionals" were one of the highest demand in March 2022 is for vacancies. Yet Computing Science is not taught in every secondary school in Scotland. #SaveComputingScience skillsdevelopmentscotland.co.uk/media/49145/co…

"A who’s who of CEOs is begging every school to teach computer science." Including Tim Cook, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and other prominent figures in technology. In Scotland Computing Science is not yet a core subject at schools. #SaveComputingScience theverge.com/2022/7/12/2320…

As the United States moves to make computer science part of the core curriculum, other countries are doing the same thing. In Africa, Kenya leads the effort to make CS part of the curriculum in primary and secondary schools. techcabal.com/2022/08/08/ken…

Computing Science faces a number of challenges. One is the differences of access to educational software which has an impact on the experiences pupils receive across each council. #SaveComputingScience
