The teaching of computer science must become more relevant to modern needs, said the government.

The government said the current teaching of IT was “insufficiently rigorous and in need of reform”.

The call for change came in a response to an industry report which looked at technology teaching in the UK.

Without reform future UK workers would lack key skills and the nation would lose its standing as a video games and visual arts hub, said the report.
