The question

To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S6W-27321 by Jenny Gilruth on 17 May 2024, whether it will provide details of the schools that participated in Education Scotland’s Computing Science Scotland Week in 2023, broken down by local authority.

The answer

Answered by Jenny Gilruth on 1 Jul 2024 · 18 days after it was lodged, 3 days after it was due

Based on registrations for November 2023 Computing Science week, the numbers provided in S6W-27321 are the accurate number of schools registered for each event during this week. It is difficult to be definitive on how many schools engaged as schools may also have participated by watching the recordings of sessions or by creating their own activities.
