    The place of Computer Science in the National Curriculum for England In April 2011 ALT responded to the DFE consultation about revisions to the National Curriculum for England1. In recent weeks there has been plenty of discussion in the media and in Government about the place of Computer Science in the curriculum. We've consulted within ALT and more widely and have framed some views on this question, in the form of a response to three questions: * To get the next generation of comp scientists do we need CS in the NC?  * Where do we put CS?  * Should CS be only for those who are interested or for all?

  • "Over the past century, the UK has stopped nurturing its polymaths. You need to bring art and science back together."
  • "It was a time when the same people wrote poetry and built bridges," he said. "Lewis Carroll didn't just write one of the classic fairytales of all time. He was also a mathematics tutor at Oxford. James Clerk Maxwell was described by Einstein as among the best physicists since Newton – but was also a published poet."
  • Schmidt said the country that invented the computer was "throwing away your great computer heritage" by failing to teach programming in schools. "I was flabbergasted to learn that today computer science isn't even taught as standard in UK schools," he said. "Your IT curriculum focuses on teaching how to use software, but gives no insight into how it's made."
