It's concerning to see that the number of CS teachers in Scotland has fallen further to 550, down from the already critically low figure of 578 reported last year.

Happy International Women's Day. It's a stark reminder that there's still so much work to do.
* Persistent Gender Gap: In Scotland, Computing Science at school level still has the largest gender gap compared to any other traditional STEM subject, and this has persisted for over a decade.

What @codeorg said!!
In Scotland CS is not yet a core subject. Compared with traditional STEM subjects CS has the worst uptake, largest gender gap, least amount of teachers, least places to train as a teacher 💔

Fantastic news! Every high school will offer CS in Michigan by 2027-2028.
CS in Scotland is yet to be a core subject with equity of access. Compared to other traditional STEM subjects, it has the largest gender gap, worst uptake & least amount of teachers

It's really great to see this. Well done. Yet we cannot forget that CS at schools compared to traditional STEM subjects has the worst uptake, largest gender gap, least amount of teachers, least places to train, lowest num in ITE & not yet core subject.
