Within a few years, every single student in the San Francisco Unified School District will be studying computer science, at all grade levels.The city’s Board of Education unanimously approved the measure during its weekly meeting on Tuesday evening.
“Information technology is now the fastest growing job sector in San Francisco, but too few students currently have access to learn the Computer Science skills that are crucial for such careers,” Board President Emily Murase said in a statement on Wednesday. “We are proud to be at the forefront of creating a curriculum that will build on the knowledge and skills students will need starting as early as preschool.”
