To me it sounds strange that they are getting rid of ICT, which sound exactly something that could be useful in general for anyone operating in modern white collar office. Computer science certainly has place, but with challenges that younger generation seem to face with more desktop style computing to me it sounds something that was actually needed.

Yes, ICT is generally useful.

I think that ICT skills are built-in the course of others subjects now, with more work being done online and on computers so that, in principle, pupils will learn in the course of their general studies.
