BBC Newsnight to feature Livingstone-Hope Skills Review

The games industry will get its chance to speak to the nation next week, with the BBC’s Newsnight programme scheduled to run a feature on the Livingstone-Hope Skills Review.

The Department for Education is due to break its eight-month silence on the Skills Review paper, which launched in February this year and called for computer science to return to the national curriculum.

Ahead of the department’s response, on Monday Newsnight will run a feature on the paper itself and the Education Department’s position.
