The Department for Education (DfE) has finally announced the members of the consortium to be awarded
£84 million to create an online National Centre for Computer Education (NCCE) for England’s schools and colleges.
They are BCS (the Chartered Institute for IT), the National STEM Centre at York University, and the Raspberry Pi Foundation.
The centre will offer four elements: free resources, online training, a network of local hubs, face-to-face training. It will soon begin work with schools, aimed at improving teaching and driving up participation in computer science at GCSE and A level.
It will operate virtually through a network of 40 school-led computing hubs to provide “an intensive training programme for secondary teachers without a post A level qualification in computer science”.
