I've been investigating the education minister's speech at labour party conference announcing "e-skills passports".

"We are creating an 'e-skills passport' to enable every student to improve their computer skills at their own pace."

'e-skills passport' is terminology used by e-skills UK the Sector Skills Council for IT, Telecoms and Contact Centres in the UK -

e-skills UK is uniting employers, educators and government on a common, employer-led agenda for skills-improvement action, and delivering programmes designed to improve productivity and business performance in the UK.

So the implication is that ICT teaching in schools is to become firmly led by business requirements rather than education objectives, right from an early age.

here's the full text of the speech
