19. Make or Break: The UK’s Digital Future
A culture of learning for life
10% of the workforce to have high-level digital skills by 2020
No child leaves the education system without basic numeracy, literacy and
digital literacy, including:
digital literacy is taught as a core subject alongside numeracy and
literacy, embedded across all subjects and throughout the curriculum;
more focus is placed on building links with employers (including
somebody from industry on the governing body of every school); and
delivery of the new computing curriculum is seen as a priority. In
particular more investment in training new teachers and speed and
urgency to train existing teachers.
