3. STEM skills
4. Technical teaching resources are often inadequate.
5. Schools need to recognise that computer games can be used to enhance learning
6. Alogorithims, Architecture, Data Structure and Communication
7. shortage of specialist teachers able to teach Computing
8. The current delivery of Computing Education in many UK schools is Unsatisfactory.
9. Dwindling enthusiasm for Computing is now widely reported.
10. There needs to be recognition that Computer Science is a rigorous academic discipline of great importance to the future careers of many pupils.
