NAMBIAR Session 9 Digital Literacy 16sept

The document discusses how coding education can transform teaching and learning through blended and e-learning approaches. It addresses several issues with the current education system such as a lack of practical skills in graduates and gender/cultural imbalances. Boot camps are presented as an option to intensively train students in practical coding skills over 40 hours per week to increase employability. The document also advocates for introducing coding in primary schools to develop problem solving skills from an early age and expanding opportunities for women in tech through scholarships and industry engagement.
