Re: Code-As-A-Sport
You get the award for lack of understanding of the day.
They are not stopping maths, algebra, science, English etc. Coding is in addition and supplements the current ICT curriculum (it's not all of it - that's a media fuck up as usual). And coding will, I believe, help in a lot of those subjects anyway (computational thought process, algebra etc). The new curriculum will take people away from 'hipster' shit, and push teach 'proper' coding - starting with things like Scratch and moving on to Python.
I suggest taking a look at the curriculum, and prepare to be educated.
