\u200b<\/span>Welcome to the seventh\u00a0issue of\u00a0IT Pro 20\/20<\/a>, our\u00a0digital magazine that brings all of the previous month’s most important tech issues into clear view.<\/p>\n

The A-levels fiasco<\/a> is by no means the first example of UK leadership woefully misunderstanding technology or viewing it as a panacea. Whether it’s arrogance over the development of a centralised coronavirus contact-tracing app, or senior ministers accidentally leaking Zoom IDs over Twitter, the public sector is not exactly inspiring confidence in its ability to create a tech-savvy society.<\/p>\n

As ever with technology, it’s going to be down to the private sector to drive this change. The coronavirus has forced many companies to shrink or close entirely, leaving likely hundreds of thousands of people out of work \u2013 although unemployment is notoriously difficult to monitor.<\/p>\n

Yet, what we’re also seeing is a surge in the number of schemes offering retraining or courses in highly-sought after skills. In fact, in this month’s issue we argue that the coronavirus pandemic is likely going to create a learning revolution. Whether it\u2019s a surge in the use of coding websites or encouraging veterans into technology, the fractured job market could prove fertile ground for those retraining into STEM-based roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
