This is literally new.
Quote:
>> The WHSG ICT department is already teaching programming to students from
age 11 and Moore notes that "in our environment, the worst thing they can do
is crash their own account - even if they completely destroy their area, it
can be restored in minutes and will not affect the next person using the
machine".
It used to be that the only option available was at college level (16+) and
university level (18+).
Using free software in schools lends itself well to teaching computer
science.
