I only wish I could persuade the Ministry of Education of that in
Bulgaria (here schools have almost no individual curricular control).
Very good news indeed: Bravo!

The results from national and local exams in the subject “Information
technology” in Norwegian Upper Secondary schools are now in. I am happy to say
that my students scored well in their exams, with an average of 4.4 out of 6
for all students who had to either sit through the national written exam or the
local oral/practical exam assessed by external teacher.
60% of the students scored 5 or better, which puts them at the top of the
scale. Compared to last years national results, the overall average would put
our school at a fine top 6 spot nationally. With a top 5 spot for the national
written exam and a top 6 spot for the oral/practical exam.
These results are unprecedented at our school, and in my opinion, very much a
result of our choice to use LiveCode as our programming environment.
The next sentence says exactly what is so good about Livecode from a
pedagogical point of view.
Due to the nature of LiveCode we have been able to focus on the principles
behind good coding, and use both time and resources to become better at problem
solving rather than to learn the intricacies of a specialised programming
language.
As far as I know, we are the only school in Norway to use LiveCode as the
preferred tool in this subject.
On behalf of my students, I am very happy with the results, and I very much
look forward to teach programming with LiveCode to yet another group of
students next year.

Tore Nilsen
