ICT education reform

Not a moment too soon, someone thinks that our ICT education is not really cutting it: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-15926871 Not that this will come as any surprise. I don't however think that pure Computer Science degrees are the answer. I think a programming education should be a part of any engineering discipline. This article is more focusing at school level and maybe college. How do we have a reasonable exposure to programming at these levels to capture peoples interest. It definitely is not about teaching people packages (again this can be done in subjects that want to use the package), and more about the creative and design process behind making software.
