| Abstract: |
We present the major changes to computer science education in Wales, UK, as part of wider school (K-12) curriculum, qualifications and system-level reforms. The new Curriculum for Wales, published in January 2020 to phase in from September 2022 for all learners aged 3-16, offers significant changes to the discipline of computer science as part of a new interdisciplinary Science & Technology "area of learning and experience", alongside the repositioning of digital competence as a statutory cross-curricular skill. We introduce the key features of this new bilingual national curriculum, its underlying rationale and wider Welsh education policy context, as well as what this means for school-level computer science education, pedagogy and practice in Wales as the curriculum is implemented. |
