As previously reported, President Obama asked the Congress for funding $4 billion for computer science education in US schools, in what would have been the state government’s main aimed funding for sponsoring the subject in schools. The suggestion gave the impression premeditated to produce more headlines than definite funding and this present day, approximately a year, the question mainly points to it, what has happened to the amount?

According to a report stated from Verge, in a statement last Monday stressing on the government’s project “Computer Science for All” ingenuity has completed this year, the administration presented a lengthy list of activities and schedules taken by states, cities, commerce, and nonprofits.

In fact, few of those accomplishments stanched from the state government’s straight contribution. The congress “did not set aside Obama’s requested $4 billion for the project,” so this means that Obama’s proposed project was a windfall of state funding and was never conceded by the congress. According to the founder of Code organization, Hadi Partovi: “The president's proposals for funding really are requests to Congress, and as we all know in the last few years. Congress hasn't really been reacting very well to what the president requests.”

However, it does not mean that the state government has presented no funding at all. Still the government was able to fund and have allocated through government agencies instead of backing up the proposed project.

On the other hand, according to Wired, despite that the proposed project was never able to pass on the Congress, still the Computer Science Education Coalition, including the Code.org, has been asserting even for the smaller goal of $250 million in state funding for computer science education. Says, that’ll be enough to accommodate approximately 3.6 million students in a year. That would be a great deal then, the and that can absolutely help more students in their studies.
