Zuckerberg: programming has become a fundamental skill that everyone-the programming, Zuckerberg-IT information
On April 27, according to foreign reports, United States technology and business leaders, as well as many Governors signed a letter to Congress, requiring computer science education will be extended to the United States in primary and secondary schools in class.
"Our schools should provide students with opportunities to learn computer science and technology, so that they become creators, programmers, and producers, not just consumers. Computer science is becoming a basic skill, but now it's only available to a few lucky students. Most of the students, particularly black or female students, were ignored. ”
The letter was published on Tuesday, aimed at working together to raise awareness on this issue.
In a separate report submitted to the Congress in a petition to computer science education Alliance (Computer Science Education Coalition) require that Congress appropriated $ 250 million for school districts to promote computer science education, computer science education, covering 52,000 of the 3.5 million students in the classroom. Sign the open letter to many executives are also members of the computer science education Alliance.
In addition, the social network Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg (Mark Zuckerberg), Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos (Jeff Bezos), Google, and Microsoft promised to spend $ 48 million in the United States on classroom implementation of computer science education. $ 23 million of which will be allocated to promotion and teaching of programming, national non-profit organization Code.org.
Zuckerberg's Facebook posting on a Web site called for the implementation of this plan:
" One of our biggest opportunities in education is to teach more children to learn programming .
"Now, only in the United States, 500,000 each year in computer-related jobs, but only 50,000 computer science graduates each year. Therefore, it is necessary to promote computer science education.
" When I was growing up in the process, a lot of people think that programming is something only geeks like me will do. But now, programming has clearly become an essential skill, and is something everyone should do, like reading. It is every school should teach the skills .
"That is why I signed the petition asking Congress to support Professor of computer science in our schools. This is one of the great opportunities of our time. As the world becomes more closely linked, teach kids to learn programming is becoming more and more important. ”
Earlier, United States President Barack Obama has asked Congress to allocate $ 4 billion special funds for the promotion of science education.
扎克伯格：编程已成为一项基本技能，每个人都该会 - 编程,扎克伯格 - IT资讯
4月27日消息，据外电报道，美国科技和商业领袖以及很多州长联名写信给国会要求将计算机科学教育拓展到美国中小学课堂上。
“我们的学校应该给有所学生提供学习计算机科学技术的机会，让他们成为创造者、编程者和制造者，而不仅仅是消费者。计算机科学技术越来越成为一项基本的技能，但是现在它只提供给了少数幸运的学生。大多数学生，尤其是黑人学生或女学生，都被忽视了。”
这封信是在周二公开发布的，旨在合力提高人们对于这个问题的认识。
在另一份呈交给国会的请愿书中，计算机科学教育联盟（Computer Science Education Coalition）要求国会拨款2.5亿美元用于在各个学区推广计算机科学教育课程，让计算机科学教育覆盖到5.2万个教室的350万个学生。签署上述公开信的很多高管也是计算机科学教育联盟的成员。
此外，社交网络Facebook CEO马克·扎克伯格（Mark Zuckerberg）、亚马逊CEO杰夫·贝索斯（Jeff Bezos）、谷歌和微软等承诺投入4800万美元在美国中小学课堂上推行计算机科学教育。其中2300万美元将拨给旨在推广和教授编程的全国性非营利性组织Code.org。
扎克伯格在Facebook网站上发帖呼吁推行这项计划：
“我们在教育领域的最大发展机遇之一就是教更多的孩子学会编程。
“现在，仅在美国，每年就有50万个计算机相关的工作岗位，但是我们每年只有5万名计算机科学的学生毕业。因此，我们很有必要推广计算机科学教育。
“在我成长的过程中，很多人认为编程是只有像我一样的书呆子才会做的事情。但是现在，编程显然已成为了一项基本的技能，是每个人都应该做的事情，就像阅读一样。它是每个学校都应该教授的技能。
“正因如此，我签署了这份请愿书，要求国会支持在我们的学校中教授计算机科学。这是我们这个时代最伟大的机遇之一。随着全世界的联系变得更加紧密，教授孩子们学习编程变得越来越重要了。”
此前，美国总统奥巴马已要求国会拨款40亿美元专项资金用于推广计算机科学教育。
