The technological education curriculum updates are set to start with revised Grade 9 and 10 courses in September 2024
Ontario is updating its curriculum in both computer science and technological education to include more hands-on learning.
"Today in this province and country there's 17,800 vacancies with respect to computer information system professionals," Lecce said at a press conference on Monday. The updated computer studies curriculum will start with a new Grade 10 course in September and will give students the opportunity to apply coding concepts, build hands-on projects, and investigate artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and emerging technologies, Lecce said.
Economic Development Minister Vic Fedeli said the new curriculum will ensure students can take advantage of job opportunities in growing fields in Ontario.
