We have three important parts of education reading, writing and Math. Some people think every child will benefit from a fourth skill added to the list: computer skills. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

I strongly advocate that every child in this ever changing world should be taught computer skills. Computers have not only provided us a new and modern way of living, but it has also given us a way to solve most of our complex problems precisely.

I believe that it is in mankind’s DNA to evolve and transform with the passage of time, since it is the only way to unfold mysteries of this world. The time when the first Macintosh was introduced, people had no idea what is was for and how it would bring a positive change. Gradually, it became a necessity of time which consequently influenced technicians to introduce better versions every passing year.

In 2018 study by MIT, it was reported that 85% of the world’s population is dependent on computers for the completion of their daily tasks which shows how important the computer skills are for one’s progression in this challenging environment.

It was once said that ‘’necessity is the mother of invention’’. From posting letters to writing emails, expensive voice calls to even free video calls, hand written posters to exquisite graphic designing, computers have made things possible which were not even imagined, therefore computer skills must be embedded as a fourth subject.
