학생 프로그래밍 보급 및 AI 교육 진전
의원들은 2019년 이후 「Code for Fun」프로그래밍 프로젝트에 참여한 학생의 비율, 미참여 학생의 디지털 소양 습득 방법, 향후 AI 인재 육성을 위한 교과과정 개정 방안에 관해 정부에 질의했습니다. 정부는 초등학교 고학년부터 2020년을 기점으로 의무 참여를 시행 중이며, 중학교의 약 3분의 2가 해당 프로젝트를 제공하고 있으며, 매년 5만 명 이상의 학생을 대상으로 한다고 설명했습니다. 교과과정은 2025년에 AI 및 데이터 소양 내용을 도입할 예정이며, 정규 교육과정 및 과외 활동과 함께 디지털 및 AI 소양 배양을 추진할 것입니다. 핵심 쟁점은 미참여 학생의 기초 디지털 능력 보장 및 교과과정의 지속적 개정입니다.
핵심 요점
- • Mandatory coding in upper primary
- • Progressive secondary rollout
- • AI content added in 2025

46 Ms See Jinli Jean asked the Minister for Communications and Information for each year since the Code for Fun enrichment programme was launched in 2019 (a) what proportion of each cohort of primary school and secondary school students respectively have undergone the programme; (b) for students who did not undergo the programme, how does the Ministry ensure that they can attain the foundational digital quotient; and (c) what are the Ministry's plans to update the programme and its delivery to contribute to developing an artificial intelligence-ready workforce.
Mrs Josephine Teo : The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) and Ministry of Education (MOE) introduced the Code for Fun (CFF) enrichment programme in 2014 to expose primary and secondary school students to coding and computational thinking. Since 2020, it has been mandatory for all upper primary school students to go through CFF or a comparable coding programme. While CFF remains an optional programme at the secondary school level, almost two-thirds of secondary schools offered the programme in 2023, up from 48% in 2021. More than 50,000 students are reached through these programmes every year.
As technology continues to evolve quickly, IMDA and MOE review CFF regularly to ensure that the programme is relevant and up to date. As part of its programme design, CFF covers emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI). We are working towards introducing new content on AI and data literacy in the refreshed CFF for 2025.
MOE provides opportunities for students to develop knowledge of digital and AI literacies, as well as emerging technologies through formal curriculum, STEM-related co-curricular activities and other enrichment programmes. More information is available in MOE's responses to the Parliamentary Questions on Incorporating Artificial Intelligence into the Curriculum on 3 July 2023; and Plans to Ensure Singaporeans' Readiness in Technology-driven Economy on 6 January 2020.
