Mr. Rubel Rahman, CEO of CodingPro Education, gives his valuable insights to SBS Bangla as to why children need to be taught coding and robotics.
Highlights
- Coding and robotics have become very important and popular in information technology, especially in 'STEM discipline', the two issues are inextricably linked.
- With the evolution of technology the world is now moving towards automation, and in this context professional education about coding and robotics has become vital.

"Gaining knowledge will maximise students’ opportunity to gain employment in a job market full of automation and machine-learning based on artificial intelligence (AI concept)" says Mr Rahman.
Regardless of the career choices students will make, Mr Rubel Rahman believes knowledge in coding and robotics will assist them assimilate into jobs that don’t exist today but surely will be there when they get out of schooling.
"The framework of the mainstream education system is not maintaining the same pace as the world of technology, therefore there’s a gap in our learning system. The educational framework has a responsibility to fill up that gap.”
He says, since computer usage has become commonplace today, technology will be so advanced in a few decades that having knowledge of coding and robotics will also become commonplace.
"Therefore, knowledge in coding and robotics will help people work with a machine as well as the human society around them" says Mr Rahman.
Mr Rubel Rahman says, school students need to be trained in coding and robotics so they can become innovators seizing the opportunities for tomorrow.
