That is one reason that the pendulum is swinging back towards teaching coding. Employers\u2019 moans are another. The shortage of skilled programmers is clear from the high salaries they command. The shallower the pool of people who know the basics, the smaller the number of potential tech entrepreneurs. According to Judith Gal-Ezer of the Open University of Israel, who was part of the team that put computer science on the country\u2019s high-school curriculum, a growing share of jobs in developed countries require \u201ccomputational thinking\u201d: the ability to formulate problems in such a way that they can be tackled by computers. But bosses complain that workers lack such skills\u2014and politicians are listening. Mr Schmidt\u2019s public criticism is credited with prodding Britain\u2019s government into action.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.w-t-w.org\/en\/teaching-computer-code-in-kindergarten\/computer-coding-for-elementary-school-students\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-16702\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-16702\" src=\"http:\/\/www.w-t-w.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Computer-Coding-for-Elementary-School-Students-300x178.jpg\" alt=\"Computer Coding for Elementary School Students\" width=\"300\" height=\"178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.w-t-w.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Computer-Coding-for-Elementary-School-Students-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.w-t-w.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Computer-Coding-for-Elementary-School-Students.jpg 442w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Israelis led the way. \u00a0The New Zealand, some German states and Australia. \u00a0The UK is coming on now, and the US, maybe.
