During his meeting with President Donald Trump and some of the nation’s top tech CEOs, Tim Cook said the government should consider making coding a requirement in schools, Recode reports. The breif remarks — which came during Trump’s gathering to discuss how Silicon Valley can help modernize the government — echo previous statements Cook has made about his belief that it’s a disservice to kids not to be teaching them to code since it’s “just another language, and just like any other language it should be taught in schools.” Apple is making its own push in that regard, expanding its Swift programming education programs for older kids and partnering with Tynker on free games that prep younger kids for future lessons.
