ACM ØACM has released a set of recommendations supporting U. S. President-elect Barack Obama's goal of making science and mathematics education a national priority, and urged the new administration to make computer science a critical part of the nation's education system. "Computing education benefits all students, not just those interested in pursuing computer science or information technology careers, " says ACM Education Policy Committee chair Bobby Schnabel. "To meet the nation's educational and professional needs in the face of insufficient numbers of undergraduates majoring in computer science, we need to work harder to increase interest at the K-12 level, and to expand the pipeline supplying the necessary workforce for an information-based economy. " The recommendations highlight the role of computer science in driving the technology sector, which is expected to make significant contributions to economic growth. MPŠ 28. 10. 2009 3
