There are no statistics that indicate a push for coders is a good idea.
Sure, but if in this example, you are Arkansas, it would be to your advantage to fill as many of the coding jobs with Arkansans as humanly possible.
Statistically, a negligible number of students could be affected in a positive way, but they have the tools trhey need to start learning from home.
The rest of the effort is just a an appeasement to the tax payers in a state rated 44th overall.
Coding will not save the Arkansas school system.
The propensity to describe the number of students affected as negligible is in direct proportion to previously held belief sets.
