Overhaul of ICT teaching

Maybe I will become a teacher one day after all.  I know I would make a good teacher but it was always going to be my back up plan if I couldn't find work in industry.  I don't like the way schools are run, hate the school curriculum and I don't think the pay is great.  But what I want in schools just isn't going to happen in my life time, so if I want to help others and make a difference in the way that only teaching can do, I will have to become a teacher one day.   After reading this maybe in the future I will consider it.

Royal Society offers ways to overhaul ICT teaching

The Royal Society has suggested ways the government can overhaul information and communications technology (ICT) teaching in schools.

It follows promises from Education Secretary Michael Gove to scrap the way the subject is taught currently.

The body, which oversees UK sciences, recommends dividing computing into distinct subjects such as computer science and digital literacy.

It said the government must do more to recruit specialist ICT teachers.
