The figures speak for themselves: according to Bitkom, 137,000 IT positions could not be filled last year. And although the proportion of women in traditional STEM subjects has risen slightly, less than one in three graduates is still female. So what can we do?

Is school preparing our children sufficiently for life? What is the current state of children’s digital skills and what do we need to be particularly concerned about?

This podcast takes stock. In conversation with four experts, a teacher, children and companies, it shows where the gaps and hurdles are, but also how digital education works. He also answers the question of who needs to be involved in our children’s education and how schools can work in the future.
