Small Business Column: Time computer science curriculum in schools

Galway East TD Ciaran Cannon said last week that Ireland needs to look seriously at creating a computer science curriculum in schools. Kehlan Kirwan examines why it’s a good idea.

The OECD recently released a report which showed the percentage of young Irish people who were unemployed and not partaking in any skills or training was near 25%.

That’s a quarter of young people being left behind from skills which may provide them a future. So how do we solve this annual reoccurring problem in Ireland?
