While I welcome the UK governments shift from teaching narrow ICT skills
to teaching Computer Science at secondary level (well its a start) and
the cash injection they have put aside for it . Did they have to go and
talk to Microsoft about it?

Is it just my celebrated paranoia or is this like the fenderation asking
the borg to train its star fleet cadets?



I cant find a mention of MS in the article.

Sorry I read several articles on the same story but only included the
one that specifically didn't mention the Microsoft Involvement. Here is
the BBC take on the same story.

I'll wait and see what the courses contain - I cant imagine MS holding back the truth forever.
