In China, programming becomes "new English"

The state is trying to improve the level of education and technical literacy of citizens. Large corporations are launching courses, and the government is issuing laws that require that scientific schools appear in primary and secondary schools. Programming in the country is studied on a par with foreign languages, as the same universal communication tool, but only with machines.

The last months in China has become very popular robot Dash, released by Wonder Workshop. It is compatible with the main mobile platforms and allows children to learn the basics of programming and algorithmic thinking. The creators say that now the ability to create computer algorithms is becoming an analogue of the English language. English allows you to communicate with people from many different countries, and programming to understand any machines, they explain. And in China, every effort is made to make the knowledge of programming languages ​​as natural as knowing English.

Chinese researchers say that more and more parents want their children to be as efficiently prepared for the future of cars. At the same time, the state course coincides with the desire of parents, writes China Daily. The state issued decrees according to which scientific schools should appear in primary and secondary schools. They will become the basis for the future of innovative development of the country, the government believes.
