The Fourth Industrial Revolution is coming, and coding is becoming mandatory education. Coding is the process of making a computer program by using computer language, or code.
Learning coding helps develop creativity, thinking skills, and reasoning skills. From 2018, software education will be included in regular classes in middle schools. Students will have to take 34 hours of classes per year. From 2019, software education will be taught in elementary schools for 17 hours every year.
