Anyone got any figures for how many students do computer science these
days at GCSE or A Level? IIRC when I did my A level in '85/6 there
were only about 120 students in the country that took it that year.. I
get the impression there have never been big numbers doing it.

I don't have the figures but, the schools I know, don't even offer any
computer science teaching. All they do is ICT.

I know quite a few. But then it's my job to visit them.

In what capacity?

University admissions....

BTw, can I have a prize for starting the fastest growing thread in
uk.d-i-y for quite a while?
