Background

curriculum change in England

investment in the new subject

recruitment

• gender disparity in workforce
• gender disparity in pay and role
• gender and subject offerings

what we already know about computing workforce - poor recruitment - poor understanding of the new subject - the geography teacher stepping in to support - male dominated - not every school offers the subject - retraining of 8k teachers by the NCCE (ncce2017launch?) - significant reduction in number of qualifications and number of hours of taught computing (kemp2019tracer?; bcs2021?)
