Alexander Karp: Technology must return to the center of the education culture
“Germany must modernize its education. Every student should learn to program in the future or at least be put in a position where they can learn it. Germany is doing far too little in this regard. There needs to be a cultural change at this point: Technology must become more central to the culture again, as it once was when Germany developed into the nation of the best engineers. Together with the European values of data protection and transparency, this would be a real opportunity in competition with the USA and China.”
