Informatics in the common core of high school, a necessary decision for a digitized and prosperous Romania

Information technologies and other aspects of digital culture have changed the way people live, work and learn, having a huge impact on the formation and distribution of knowledge around the world. Those less familiar with the digital world are increasingly disadvantaged, and the need for digital literacy is growing, both for an increase in the quality of individual life and at the level of the national economy. One of the measures that the developed countries are counting on in this direction, necessary also in Romania, is the introduction of compulsory computer science classes in the common trunk of the high school curriculum, regardless of the class profile. Here are the main reasons behind this decision.
