BOSTON -- Only a small fraction of the state's more than 250,000 high schoolers take computer science courses, and education officials hope a recent move will encourage more to enroll.
The Board of Higher Education on June 18 and the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education on June 26 adopted motions to include computer science in MassCore, the standard curriculum for high school students planning to attend college.
