Why Coding is India’s Latest Education Trend

 

It is believed by many well-known personalities that just like the alphabets defined literacy in yesteryear, the knowledge of coding will define literacy in the upcoming years. It’s an undeniable fact that coding empowers the digital world and has been proved to be the must-have skill of the 21st century. Let's learn about how coding can be the best future alternative for the students.

Technology has revolutionized the way we look at the world around us. With various life-changing technologies developing every year, we are observing massive changes in different fields, and education is no exception. Keeping up with developing technology trends can have a major impact on the education system that is being imparted in schools today. It will help offer students the latest opportunities and unique learning experiences that they need to excel in this technology-driven world and deserve. 

Not only the education but the jobs are affected as well. We can say that it is developing at such a fast pace that the high paying jobs of today did not even exist five years ago, and we cannot know for certain what kind of jobs we will be doing in another five years’ time. And the main reason behind this big rapid change is software. 

In the last three decades, technology has totally gripped our world, and now our lives revolve around it right from childhood. In India, as soon as a child gets a little understanding of technology, he or she gets attracted to the mobile phones or tablets of their parents. They start playing games on them, or watching cartoons, or even randomly calling people contact list even before they have learned to speak. Although they learn how those things work from an early age, the adults have very little idea about what goes on behind the scenes of the websites and apps he or she uses regularly. It is as if they have learned to read but not write. Hundreds of children in the country have taken to ‘coding’ lessons in the last few months, and the latest education trend has grown immensely, especially since the lockdown amid online studies. They took these classes considering the future opportunities that this skill will offer. 

The students who want to pursue coding as their career can take up the following approaches:

 

• Computer science: This degree is specially designed to teach you both programming principles and specific programming languages, like C, C++, and Java at the minimum and others (Assembly, Python, SQL, Perl, Ruby, etc.), depending on the university program.
• Information technology: This degree will also teach you programming principles as well as specific languages, though these generally differ from those taught in computer science. You can expect to learn languages like Python, PHP, SQL, and Cisco IOS TCL. You will learn more scripting languages in IT.
• Mathematics: Computer science is practically applied math. A math degree will sharpen your problem-solving skills as well as give you a mathematical perspective on programming. Depending on your university's curriculum, you may have to take some programming courses as part of the math curriculum. These may include languages such as C, Java, FORTRAN, MATLAB, and R.

If you see your future in coding, Marwadi University is the best choice for you.
