School committee updates projected elementary enrollment numbers reflecting nine new student registrations.

According to a survey conducted by Nova Learning, a platform for academic mentoring, there has been a significant decline in interest among students in Computer Science and AI as a primary academic focus. The data shows that the percentage of middle and high school students naming Computer Science and AI as their main interest dropped from 42.3% in 2025 to 27.9% in 2026, while Engineering saw a rise from 11.9% to 23%. The most dramatic decline was observed in Software & Data Science, which lost 44% of its 2025 share. The National Student Clearinghouse Research Center reported a decline of 8.1% in undergraduate enrollment in Computer and Information Science programs at four-year institutions, totaling approximately 606,000 students. The article notes that while AI coding tools are not proven to be the direct cause of this trend, the changing landscape of software development, where AI handles more coding tasks, may be influencing students' career considerations. The survey also indicates that students are moving away from traditional 'learn to code' pathways, particularly those associated with entry-level software work, while more applied and human-facing subfields within computer science are holding their ground better. The article includes reader comments discussing various perspectives on this trend, including concerns about industry layoffs, disillusionment with coding education, and the potential for AI to reshape the future of technology careers. Some commenters argue that students are not losing interest in computer science but are instead being discouraged from pursuing it due to the perceived risks of AI automation. Others suggest that the decline reflects a broader shift in how students view technology careers, with many seeking fields that are less vulnerable to AI disruption. The article concludes by noting that while the trend is concerning for the tech industry, it may also signal a necessary evolution in how computer science is taught and perceived, with a potential shift toward more applied and human-centered approaches to technology education.
