That's a remarkably smart thing for a politician to say about computing education. I had to check, but that quote was actually from Ian Livingstone. I'm very pleased he is so heavily involved. In fact, I don't think any of this would be happening without the backing of industry leaders and their complaints. Kids and teachers themselves have been complaining at least since 2005 when I was exposed to "IT education" in school but that obviously wasn't sufficient reason to take action.
