21, March 2015 - Microsoft today released the result from a new Asia Pacific study which revealed that the majority of students in the Philippines recognize the value of coding in their education and the potential it creates for their future careers. Additionally, the study also found that students enjoy relatively strong support from their school and parents in their interest for coding, signaling an increasing awareness of the skill as an important part of the future.  


Conducted in February 2015 in line with the Microsoft YouthSpark #WeSpeakCode campaign, the survey polled 1,850 students under 24 years old from across 8 countries in Asia Pacific, including the Philippines, on their sentiments towards coding or software programming. They were also asked about the learning opportunities for coding that are currently available to them. The student respondents came from a variety of academic backgrounds, including arts &humanities, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), business, and other general fields of study.





Microsoft Philippines celebrates #WeSpeakCode by teaching coding to select schools within and outside of Metro Manila with the help of Microsoft Student Partners (MSPs), college student volunteers who have been trained for free in Microsoft technologies and serve as Microsoft evangelists in their respective schools. A mall activation in SM Megamall also offers fun and easy coding lessons to kids and adults alike using popular games such as Minecraft, Angry Birds, and animated movie, Frozen, as a platform to teach coding and make it more accessible.
