12. Why teach computing?
    Humans
    need not

14. The Computing Curriculum
    new
    >
    “From 5, children will learn to code and program, with algorithms, sequencing, selection
    and repetition;
    !
    from 11, how to use at least 2 programming languages to solve computational problems;
    to design … computational abstractions that model the state and behaviour of real-
    world problems and physical systems; and how instructions are stored and executed
    within a computer system.”
    !
