Requires school districts to provide instruction on keyboarding.
This bill (A4924) requires New Jersey public school districts to incorporate keyboarding instruction into the curriculum for students in kindergarten through sixth grade. It mandates that districts ensure students can type at least one page in a single sitting by the end of sixth grade, as part of implementing state standards for career readiness and digital skills. The instruction must be integrated into existing curriculum frameworks, not added as a separate course. The bill applies to all public school districts and takes effect in the first full school year after enactment.
