Open the original- What it measures
- The survey asked school and district leaders whether keyboarding is taught as a standalone course, as a skill in the classroom, or both.
- What it does not show
- The share is of leaders reporting, not of pupils or classrooms. The survey asks whether keyboarding is taught at all, not how much time it gets or how well it is taught.
