Coding in schools, a move in the right direction

THE teaching of computational thinking and computer science for coding in schools by the Education Ministry is a positive move as it will open up many other avenues to support learning across subjects, both inside and outside the classroom.

“While computational thinking is essential for a learner to go on to develop computer applications, its structured and analytical way of approaching problems is not limited to the study of computer science alone, said head of Google for Education Malaysia, Rahayu Ramli.
