Learn to code, it’s more important than English as a second language

Apple CEO Tim Cook says coding is the best foreign language that a student in any country can learn.
The tech executive made the remarks to French outlet Konbini while in the country for a meeting with
French President Emmanuel Macron. The tech leader gave some brief thoughts on education:

“If I were a French student and I were 10 years old, I think it would be more important for me to learn
coding than English. I’m not telling people not to learn English in some form – but I think you understand
what I am saying is that this is a language that you can use to express yourself to 7 billion people in the
world. I think that coding should be required in every public school in the world.”

Of course, it’s in Cook’s best interest to have the world learning how to code. He runs a tech company
that depends on access to a constantly growing pipeline of talent. But it could be in your interest too:
studying coding could increase your chances of pulling in a big salary. A computer-science education, at
least in countries like the US, is one of the most viable and lucrative career paths open to young people
today.

But, Cook says, the benefits go beyond that. “It’s the language that everyone needs, and not just for
the computer scientists. It’s for all of us”. He added that programming encourages students of all disciplines
to be inventive and experimental: “Creativity is the goal. Coding is just to allow that. Creativity is in the
front seat; technology is in the backseat. With the combination of both of these you can do such powerful
things now.”
