About 9% of the students answered that they learned programming for the first time at university.Under the influence of the spread of the new coronavirus infection, the demand for IT is increasing, such as the progress of remote support in companies and schools, and it is possible that more and more students will be interested in IT in the future.In addition, with the "Revision of the Course of Study" established by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, programming education will become compulsory in elementary schools, and it is expected that programming learning will become more familiar.
