The Apple CEO stressed the importance of making coding education accessible to all, regardless of gender or socio-economic background. He called for more efforts to encourage girls and underprivileged students to take up coding, and highlighted the need for more role models in the tech industry.
Cook’s comments have been widely praised by educators and industry experts, who have welcomed his focus on coding education. Many have highlighted the need for more investment in digital literacy programs, and have called for more support for schools and teachers to help them teach coding effectively.
Also, the importance of coding education has become increasingly apparent in recent years, as technology has become more pervasive in our daily lives. Learning to code can help young people develop valuable skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaboration, and can open up new career opportunities in the tech industry.
Further, in India, there has been a growing focus on digital literacy and coding education in recent years, with several government initiatives aimed at promoting technology education in schools. However, there is still a long way to go, and more needs to be done to ensure that all young people have access to quality coding education.
With Tim Cook’s endorsement and the growing recognition of the importance of coding education, there is hope that more Indian kids, including girls, will take up coding at an early age and become the innovators and leaders of tomorrow.
