Importance of Computer Science Education in the
Introduction
The rise of information technology or IT has profoundly affected modern
society. Consequently, computers have become devices of daily use. In this paper,
the need of computer science education will be reflected on. The analysis will

Analysis
Computers are being used ubiquitously in different organizations
with Internet and mobile devices, are continuously expanding the scope of
computer science (see Figure – 1). So, if somebody does not have the capability
of operating computer systems, then life will become considerably difficult for
them. For example, daily activities like online shopping, email communication,
word processing, etc. are not possible without using computers. Consequently,

But how can we achieve the adequate levels of knowledge on computers
(and computer science) in today’s world? Unlike the mid 1980s, today’s computer
users do not belong only to the educated scientific community with different

one can ask that why the learning of computer science and related technologies is
so complex.

optimum computer science education will have a twofold benefit. First, the
students will learn to use computing technologies confidently. Second, they will

Besides, rise of computer based business information systems have
transactions and databases. Even many of modern voting systems can now be
integrated within the framework of electronic voting machine, and basic computer
for different fields and purposes has also become an imperative. Fulfilling the
areas and industries need more skilled computer operators as well as application
developers (Bresnahan et al, 1999). All round training in computer science can
help the students to become winning professional candidates for the future.

However, there are numerous questions regarding the quality of this knowledge.
