Why computer science in K-12 by Code.orgPeerasak C.
Computer science drives innovation throughout the US economy, but it remains marginalized throughout K-12 education.
Only 33 states allow students to count computer science courses toward high school graduation.
There are currently 517,393 open computing jobs nationwide.
Last year, only 42,969 computer science students graduated into the workforce.

"Summary of source data for Code.org infographics and stats
Computing occupations make up ⅔ of all projected new jobs in STEM fields
The source for these data comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Projections (http://www.bls.gov/emp/tables.htm). The projection for new computing jobs is 548,200 from 2014-2024. Projections for all other STEM jobs combined is 288,400 over the same period.
When comparing Employment Projections data to Computer Science graduates, only STEM and computing jobs that require a bachelor’s degree are included (i.e., jobs that require associate’s degrees or less, master’s degrees, and doctoral degrees are not included in these projection summaries). In this case, the projection for new computing jobs that require a bachelor’s degree is 413,500, versus 165,600 in all other STEM fields combined. This is a 71:29 ratio of jobs in Computing versus the rest of STEM.
For STEM occupations, we use the SOC codes that the BLS defined as STEM in the “Science, Engineering, Mathematics, and Information Technology Domain” (http://www.bls.gov/soc/Attachment_A_STEM.pdf and http://www.bls.gov/soc/Attachment_B_STEM.pdf).
For computing occupations, we use all of the occupations listed under “Computer Occupations” SOC 15-1100, as well as additional individual codes in other categories that are clearly computer science occupations. Specific codes for both classifications are listed below. Note that these codes include occupations at all degree levels."

The Hotel Industry's Automated Future: A Framework for AI With a Human TouchPeerasak C.
Data has shifted the foundation of the hotel industry. Managers can now segment guest profiles to infinite degrees, creating a comprehensive picture of who’s staying at their properties. Managers can also track guest habits, interests, preferences and any unrecognized revenue opportunities or paths to stronger brand loyalty –– it’s all in the data.

Developing national action plans on transport, health and environmentPeerasak C.
Abstract
A national transport, health and environment action plan (NTHEAP) is a key tool and mechanism for developing
sustainable and healthy transport in a country. NTHEAPs provide a comprehensive and intersectoral way
of planning and implementing transport, environment and health action at the national level. They also
call for working across sectors, and action can result in reducing health inequalities, thus contributing to
Health 2020, the European policy for health and well-being; the Parma Declaration on Environment and
Health; and the action plan for implementation of the European Strategy for the Prevention and Control of
Noncommunicable Diseases 2012–2016. This manual was developed to guide NTHEAP development at
the country level. It proposes four phases: planning, development, implementation and evaluation. It does
not provide specifics on how to establish the general policies or strategies on sustainable and healthy
transport, an activity that usually precedes the development of action plans. The manual provides practical
advice for each of the phases and steps and highlights good practices from the European Region.
THE INCLUSIVE INTERNET INDEX: Bridging digital dividesPeerasak C.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Twenty years after the internet began to change people’s lives, less than half of the world’s population is able to benefit from it. Even in some developed countries, up to one-fifth of the population is still offline, either unable to use the internet or unconvinced of its value.
The ranks of the unconnected are far larger in the developing world. As the developed world becomes ever more active online, the persistence of digital divides is likely to constrain poorer countries’ development.
The burgeoning use of mobile phones across the developing world has been an equaliser of sorts, enabling internet access to millions who would otherwise be excluded. Connectivity alone, however, is not enough to ensure that people are able to benefit from the internet. As this study argues, the internet must also be relevant, and people must have the skills and confidence to use it. An inclusive internet, in other words, is widely available, affordable and allows usage that promotes positive social and economic outcomes. Inclusion may be defined as the sum of actions taken by government, commercial firms and civic organisations in a country to make this a reality.
The Inclusive Internet Index assesses the enabling environment for the adoption and beneficial use of the internet in 75 countries. It finds that, while high levels of wealth and economic development contribute much to a strongly inclusive environment, several middle-income countries are successfully building key enablers, such as relevant content, digital literacy and policy. This shows that countries with lower levels of economic development nevertheless have levers with which to boost internet inclusion available to them.
