In her TEDxFCCU Women talk, Code School co-founder Sadaf Rehman challenged the global education system’s failure to treat coding as core literacy. She shared how Code School’s game-based curriculum, affordable instructor model, and policy influence in Pakistan prove that early, equitable coding education is not only possible—it’s essential. This talk reframes coding as a foundation for future-ready learning.

Is coding for kids still relevant in the age of AI? Absolutely. Research from UNESCO shows two-thirds of countries now teach computer science, while the World Economic Forum predicts 65% of today’s children will work in jobs that don’t yet exist. Coding builds problem-solving, creativity, and resilience - making it the new literacy alongside reading, writing, and math.
