Informatics is obligatory subject in Croatian schools only in the fifth and sixth grades. However, our school offers the possibility of enrolling in Informatics as an optional subject in all other classes. The material that pupils learn is very broad, from learning computer parts in lower grades to programming in higher grades. When Informatics was introduced as an optional subject, there was a great interest in enrolling in it. A few years later, that interest waned, and pupils began to withdraw from the subject. However, this year we recorded 25% fewer enrolled pupils compared to last year. We hope that there will be fewer and fewer pupils every year, which is certainly contributed to by the training and expertise of computer science teachers and the Erasmus project Be GITA, which promotes the use of technology in teaching. The digital world is today, and its responsible, skillful and creative use is our bright future!
