GitHub Education opens to all schools

Software development is more than just writing code. It’s also a question of how to deal with the code you write. Tests, notes, and records, proper source code management, etc., are essential, necessary skills for qualified programmers. These skills are usually not learned in class. However, GitHub hopes to change this situation. Previously, GitHub Education was only targeting a small number of educational institutions with degrees or certificates, and now the project is extended to all schools.
