Mr. Eddie Ward:

I will make a general point on CoderDojo. Its background differs from that of most of the programmes that are brought to the Department's attention. Industrial and commercial interests regularly bring programmes to our attention. For obvious reasons of procurement and so on, the Department cannot and does not endorse them.

We are aware of the availability of the massive open online course, MOOC, resource. There are courses on maths, physics and so on and we are determining whether they are suitable for use in the restructured support services.
