Coding Curriculum Introduced in Primary Schools, Preparing Future Innovators
In a bid to boost digital literacy, the state government has introduced coding as part of the primary school curriculum. Starting this academic year, children in grades 3 to 5 will have a weekly class focused on basic programming languages like Scratch and Python. The move comes as part of a broader initiative to prepare young students for careers in STEM fields. Educators say that early exposure to coding will help foster critical thinking and problem solving skills, setting the foundation for future careers in technology.
