Yes definitely ! That is why primary schools are going to teach these to p4-p6 kids. You can learn more here - https://sg.theasianparent.com/dummies-junior-digital-knowledge-series/?utm_source=search&utm_medium=app

Hmm. Not sure on this because presumably, at some point, AI will become so advanced that the machines will be programming the machines to a much more advanced degree than the human brain will be capable of.

Probably only if they have interest in it. No point forcing someone who has no interest into doing something they don’t want to do, they’ll never succeed at it

Yes it is important but all skills are important too for me it's really up to him because if he wants to cook, cannot be I teach him how to code mah

Coding is important. Can teach the children if they have the interest to learn but won't say all children have to learn.

I want both my daughters to learn coding so they have skills to join the future workforce

It’s a good skill to have but perhaps introduce it to them at an appropriate age.

It seems to b e hot thing nw. Nt sure wat s e hot thing in 20 yrs time.

It is not necessary but it is a very good aptitude exercise going up

I think it’s a useful knowledge to have but not for every kid
