Technology is a fundamental part of today’s world and plays a major role in education, careers, and everyday life. Subjects like CAT and IT help learners develop essential skills such as computer literacy, problem-solving, logical thinking, and basic coding. These skills are increasingly expected by universities and employers across many fields, not only in technology-related careers.
Reintroducing CAT and IT would better prepare learners for tertiary education, improve digital competence, and ensure that students are not disadvantaged in a rapidly advancing, technology-driven society. It would also give learners the opportunity to discover interests and talents in computing at an early stage, helping them make more informed career choices in the future.
