Panel: Gillian Lovegrove (, Manager, Education and Training Forum), Richard Millwood (Director of Core Education UK), Chris Yapp, Martyn Wilson (Hampshire Adviser and former Chair on Naace)
This session is to debate the importance of Computing as a specialist subject in schools. The proposition is that the study of computing is rich with important concepts and processes for humankind which transcend the simple need for a computer literate workforce and citizenry. The debate will look for strong views to support and oppose this proposition and clarity about the very definition of computing as a subject – what should it contain and how might it be taught in the 21st century?
