A North Carolina House committee has approved legislation that would mandate high schoolers to pass a computer science class starting in fall 2024.
A North Carolina House committee has approved a mandate designed to prepare students for jobs in growing computer-related fields.
The current science credits are in biology and one each in physical science and earth or environmental science. While the bill doesn't state which one should be dropped, an earlier version filed would have eliminated the earth science class. The House Education K-12 Committee defeated an amendment by Rep. Rosa Gill, a Wake County Democrat, that would have reduced the number of elective credits a student would have to take from six to five while retaining the current required science credits.
