International comparison of computing in schools

This NFER survey forms part of a Royal Society project looking at how Computing is taught in schools. The overall project was supported by 24 organisations from across the computing community including learned societies, professional bodies, universities, and industry. School teachers, academics and other members of the computing community came together through the study to address growing concerns that the design and delivery of the ICT and computing curricula in schools is putting young people off studying the subject further.

Citizens in Transition in England, Wales and Scotland: Young citizens at 18-25

This report presents the key findings from the first component of the CiT study, namely the longitudinal element of the survey exploring citizenship participation and engagement among 19-20 year olds in England. It sheds light on the continued impact of the citizenship teaching and learning that young people received in schools, where Citizenship was a statutory subject, and the learning they continue to experience in and beyond their current education, training and work experiences. It also provides insight into their political interest and engagement, particularly against the backdrop of their attitude towards and participation in the 2010 General Election, the first opportunity for this cohort to take part in such an election.
