Education Minister Stephen Lecce announced the new and revamped curriculum — the first in more than a decade — Monday afternoon, saying a new Grade 10 course in computer studies will be launched next fall, as well as the overhaul of technological education starting in Grade 9 in 2024.
He noted the current Grade 10 introduction to computer studies was last updated in 2008, before widespread use of smartphones or automated cars and artificial intelligence. It will be replaced with a course entitled “digital technology in the changing world.” This is “another step by our government to ensure students are prepared for the jobs of the future,” Lecce also said. “This change will provide students with hands-on experience with technology, expose them to real-life problem solving, and enhance learning that focuses on giving young people the skills to think critically, dream boldly and chart new pathways forward for our economy.”
