Message to your customers and viewers
Coding is the most important skill set of the future. Its relevance has been acknowledged by the UN in their most recent skill report, and all leading governments including the UAE, are pressing on its adaptation. All responsible parents must ensure their child knows how to code – while it may not be required in all professions, learning to code at an early age helps build logical thinking, cognitive skills, creativity, and most of all, confidence. Further, all industries rely heavily on technology, and understanding the fundamentals of technology requires the knowledge of code.
So parents, please provide your child access to a platform at an early age so they may learn this language. And students, please do not discount the need for coding literacy – the future is heavily reliant on it.
