Computer science in education

As is commonly agreed, the rapid pace of technological change necessitates a shift from traditional education models to lifelong learning, as well as new and diversified approaches to learning. This involves developing knowledge and skills that are adaptable to changing future job requirements and technological shifts. According to a recent UNICEF Generation Unlimited survey that involved young people from 181 countries, almost half of them consider having AI skills, such as prompt engineering, AI for productivity, AI for content creation or using AI responsibly for future jobs, as critical. Conversely, only 15 % claim to have an extensive knowledge in using AI. Figure 1 shows a significant divergence in computer science availability at primary and secondary schools worldwide and across Europe.
