Why Now?‘This is all part of a much broader vision at Microsoft to ensure that every school leaver is IT literate. This is why alongside others in the industry, we worked hard to ensure that Computer Science, and not just ICT, will be part of the curriculum from this year.

September will see those first lessons take place in Primary schools across the UK and we have been working hard to support teachers to deliver it so we can inspire a new generation of young people.’
