It's concerning to see that the number of CS teachers in Scotland has fallen further to 550, down from the already critically low figure of 578 reported last year. #SaveComputingScience www.gov.scot/publications...

What @codeorg said!! In Scotland CS is not yet a core subject. Compared with traditional STEM subjects CS has the worst uptake, largest gender gap, least amount of teachers, least places to train as a teacher 💔 #SaveComputingScience

Today is International Day of Women and Girls in Science. A reminder that CS at school level in Scotland has the largest gender gap compared to other traditional STEM subjects & has done for over a decade. Let's work together to #CloseTheGenderGap #SaveComputingScience

CS in Scotland has the biggest gender gap in STEM for over a decade! Fantastic to see initiatives like NextTechGirls offering amazing work experience. Be great to see more Scottish tech companies get involved & create more opportunities for pupils in Scotland #SaveComputingScience#CloseTheGenderGap

Fantastic news! Every high school will offer CS in Michigan by 2027-2028. CS in Scotland is yet to be a core subject with equity of access. Compared to other traditional STEM subjects, it has the largest gender gap, worst uptake & least amount of teachers #SaveComputingScience

It's really great to see this. Well done. Yet we cannot forget that CS at schools compared to traditional STEM subjects has the worst uptake, largest gender gap, least amount of teachers, least places to train, lowest num in ITE & not yet core subject. #SaveComputingScience
