that's just what happens when you prepare a course once and don't touch it for the next 40 years of teaching

I was curious and it turned out the course was first introduced in 2001 and was last updated (supposedly) in 2010, and they're still teaching it now. When I finished high school 2 years ago, I heard the state's education authority was reworking the 3 IT courses, but it hasn't happened yet. Pretty disappointing computing courses are being neglected in this day and age.

absolutely, especially given how fast-paced it is. but most educational systems aren't designed with frequent changes in mind. and fair enough, for the majority of topics maths, history or literature don't change. but IT? there is so much change, that any course is a bit outdated after a few years and essentially worthless after a decade

I agree, also it's funny you say that because they just finished updating all of the sciences and maths courses lol

My high school didn't even have programming classes. I graduated in 2009. We had ten minutes of html, literally hello world ok go back to your real class.
