    What degree to teach Computing/ICT in secondary schools?
    Basically I am wondering what degree I need/what degree it is recommended I have if I want to teach computing/ICT at a secondary school in the future, many institutions say it must be 50% computer based but what is the so called favoured degree?

    Michael Gove is intent on abolishing ICT as a subject in schools and replacing it with Computing so the answer must be Computer Science or something with a substantial maths/programming element.
