UK IT Curriculum Petition - UK Escapists Please Read

We did a bit of Prolog and Visual Basic in my school; introducing us to procedural and declarative programming. Though my school is in Scotland. By UK do you mean UK or England?

We share a government, so yes he did mean the UK.
O.T. There are a lot of subjects people think should be taught in schools, and there simply isn't enough time in the day and effort of the students to do them all. IT varies wildly depending on where you go to school. In Year 8 we used Scratch, and our school offers plenty of different IT courses for GCSE which includes Computing. Learning to use a computer is something important that everybody should know, learning to make things for it is not.

I don't see where you think we need to learn programming; you don't need it before the GCSEs and you can do it for your GCSEs if you go a school which does it.
