Abstract
As part of the project "ICT Znanstveni laboratorij" a research was carried out to investigate the attitudes of students towards the implementation of the curriculum of IT subjects in secondary schools. The study included 142 (72F, 70M) students of private grammar schools Gaudeamus and Pitagora, who completed the survey which consisted of 13 groups of questions. The results have shown that on the one hand 78% of students attend classes in computer science and a high percentage agrees with the statement that their computer literacy is important for future interest, while the other side as much as 53% of the students are not familiar with the acronym ICT (information and communication technology). A large percentage of students agree with the statement that their existing curriculum in computer science is not sufficient to continue their education in that field. These results suggest that students need to enrich the contents in the subject, for which there is great interest among students.
