Students in grades 8-11 will be offered free two-year programming courses. This is stated in the resolution of the Ministry of Finance approving the allocation of funds for the new initiative.
The training will take place both online and offline. The courses themselves will be an addition to the main school curriculum in mathematics and computer science.
The University 2035 organization will be responsible for the selection of educational sites and providers. It will be possible to enroll in the courses based on the results of testing on Public Services.
According to preliminary estimates, at least 100 thousand schoolchildren will be trained at the first stage. It is expected that by 2030, about 1.2 million teenagers will already use the program.
