MORE than 1,000 primary school pupils in Argyll and Bute have benefited from a pioneering education programme to boost youngsters’ computing skills.
The Barefoot Computing project, which has now reached more than one million pupils UK-wide, helps primary teachers get to grips with computing so that they can better help their pupils.
Led by BT and the British Computing Society, Barefoot offers free teaching resources and volunteer-led training workshops to help primary school teachers get confident when teaching IT.
