This academic year is going to be special for some Belarusian school students. They will get the opportunity to start learning programming as early as in elementary school to have a chance to start their career in the profitable and promising IT industry. A journalist of Onliner.by visited the Hi-Tech Park where teachers of future IT professionals received training, and learned why programming is called the new literacy.
