The state of Computing in England

"In short, one has the very strong impression that this qualification [Computer Science] is highly elitist. In an era when organisations are falling over themselves to promote diversity, sometimes even seeming to forget what their reason for existing is, it is at the very least morally questionable to promote such a qualification."

"I have compiled a list of available ed tech-related qualifications for the UK. You can use it to check what’s available or is going to be available. I have not included any qualifications that are going to be examined for the last time this year. You can download it from the subscribers’ only page."
