Learn to code, it’s more important than English as a second language
Apple CEO Tim Cook says coding is the best foreign language that a student ∈ any country can learn. The tech executive made the remarks to French outlet Konbini while ∈ the country for a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron. The tech leader gave some brief thoughts on education:
“If I were a French student and I were 10 years old, I think it would be more important for me to learn coding than English. I’m not telling people not to learn English ∈ some form – but I think you understand what I am saying is that this is a language that you can use to express yourself to 7 billion people ∈ the world. I think that coding should be required ∈ every public school ∈ the world.”
Of course, it’s∈Cook’s best interest to have the world learning how to code. He runs a tech company that depends on access to a constantly growing pipeline of talent. But it could be ∈ your interest too: studying coding could increase your chances of pulling ∈a big salary. A computer-science education, at least ∈ countries like the US, is one of the most viable and lucrative career paths open to young people today.
But, Cook says, the benefits go beyond that. “It’s the language that everyone needs, and not just for the computer scientists. It’s for all of us”. He added that programming encourages students of all disciplines to be inventive and experimental: “Creativity is the goal. Coding is just to allow that. Creativity is ∈ the front seat; technology is ∈ the backseat. With the combination of both of these you can do such powerful things now.”
