UVEDBA OBVEZNEGA PREDMETA DIGITALNI JEZIK (RAČUNALNIŠTVO IN INFORMATIKA) 💻   V Gospodarska zbornica Slovenije - Združenje za informatiko in telekomunikacije so analizirali letošnje Poročilo digitalnega desetletja za leto 2024, ki ga je objavila Evropska komisija. 📑   ℹ️ Stanje za Slovenijo je alarmantno. Slovenija v zadnjih dveh letih nazaduje na področju digitalizacije in je padla pod povprečje EU. Na področju digitalnih kompetenc je stanje prav tako zelo slabo, saj smo razen na enem kazalniku pod povprečjem EU, najslabše pa se je Slovenija odrezala po števila IKT strokovnjakov, kjer smo šele na 25. mestu.    Pomanjkanje digitalne pismenosti v našem izobraževalnem sistemu lahko ovira potencial naše mladine in napredek naše države in gospodarstva v digitalni dobi❗ Zagotovitev, da vsak učenec v Sloveniji pridobi digitalne kompetence in znanja, mora zato nujno postati nacionalna prioriteta.   Kljub mednarodnemu poudarku k premagovanju digitalne razlike, obsežni medijski pozornosti ter razpravam in pozivom, ki jih skupaj s podporniki- spodbujamo že več let, Slovenija še vedno ni uvedla obveznega predmeta, ki bi poučeval znanja računalništva in informatike. Tudi zadnje poročilo UMAR o produktivnosti opozarja, da ima Slovenija v Nacionalnem strateškem načrtu za digitalno desetletje velik razkorak med cilji in ukrepi, ki naj te cilje podpirajo. 

Anita Ogulin, an exceptional person, humanitarian, and the AmCham Business Leader of the Year 2024, has left us, but her legacy will continue to inspire. Her words, "We can only share our emotions with people and not with goods... I understand the potential that lies within everyone if we know how to discover, unlock, and support it," will remind us in the future of the importance of cooperation, which she saw as crucial for the progress of our society. Anita Ogulin will remain in our hearts as a symbol of selflessness, courage, and dedication. Rest in peace, dear Anita. You can read her story at https://lnkd.in/dhWx4Dcr

We’ve just started the second week of the SEI 2024 program (Student Entrepreneurship and Internship), which we organize yearly in partnership with the U.S. Embassy Ljubljana. 🚀 Last week, ambitious students, the participants of SEI 2024, had the opportunity to explore various organizations and companies, gaining valuable insights into different industries. This week, we’re thrilled to dive into the world of entrepreneurship with Professor Jay Ebben. The focus is on transforming ideas into reality using the Lean Start-Up methodology. The SEI course is structured around an experiential lean start-up project, where students will work in teams to research and develop their own business concepts (from conducting primary and secondary market research to building and testing prototypes) that they will present on the final day of the program. 💡 Comment if you are part of the SEI 2024 program. 👀
