The National Centre for Computing Education (NCCE) has announced it has appointed one of Britain’s leading computer scientists as its Chair. The NCCE is working with schools across England to improve teaching of computing and to drive up participation in computer science at GCSE and A-Level. It will operate virtually through a national network of up to 40 school led Computing Hubs to provide training and resources to primary and secondary schools, and an intensive training programme for secondary teachers without a post A-Level qualification in computer science. The centre will also develop an A level programme to better prepare A level students for further study and employment in digital roles.
