The Guardian pointed out that Britain is beginning to establish a "country of coders". The newly promulgated junior high school entrance examination is expected to include "programming" in the examination content. It is estimated that there will be about 80,000 job vacancies in the UK engineering field in the future, from infrastructure, cloud computing, smartphones to tablets.

In order to seize the opportunity, Britain * * * incorporated "programming" into the curriculum of primary and secondary schools as early as September 20 14 to encourage children to learn and increase their competitiveness in the future.

British Prime Minister David? David Cameron said in an exclusive interview with The Guardian: "We must let our children compete with the world. Under the wave of digitalization, mastering programming logic and language will have a decisive impact on their future career; The key to the success of the country in the future is also the way to let children learn mathematics, science and programming, which is also the main reason why we integrate "1 hour code" into the curriculum and study with STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). 」

British Minister of Education Nicky? Nicky Mann also said: "In the past few decades, students who want to engage in medical and engineering industries have chosen mathematics or science, but this mode of thinking can no longer be applied in one school." Learning STEM will lead children to a more open professional life. 」

"Although programming skills are necessary, we insist on recruiting talents from all walks of life. In fact, many top engineers don't necessarily have a computer background, but the programs written for hard-working employees are more in line with human needs and refreshing, "said Jason, CEO of British technology company Tudou. Jason Carritt commented in The Guardian.

"For us, it is as important to recruit people who can be creative and flexible as to have a degree. The ultimate goal of engineers is to find new ways to solve problems, and people with completely different backgrounds may be more suitable. You may not imagine the benefits of understanding "music" when writing programs. Two senior engineers in our company are from music background and have no formal engineering-related licenses. But logically speaking, the writing of melody and notes, like the units and components of a program, must start from scratch. In addition to creativity, jumping out of the framework is the key to their success. " Kawhite continued.
