Fifteen countries across Europe have already integrated coding at primary or secondary school level, according to a new report just launched by European Schoolnet, the coordinator of the European Coding Initiative.

These questions have set the scene for the development of this new report and to the renewal of our commitment to the promotion of coding teaching and learning".
