Drones are increasingly becoming a go-to for both hobbyists and the workforce, with racing and aircraft inspection being two prime examples of how this technology is becoming a big thing.
Tokyo's Vantan High School is now ensuring the next generation is abreast of this burgeoning tech by offering a three-year course on drones.
The course offers more than just an understanding of how to pilot a drone, also providing lessons in maintenance, aviation laws and computer programming when the need arises for firmware updates.

I see how this is. Installing a firmware update is "computer programming" like "programming" a VCR, or a Tivo, or whatever you morons call your timeshifting devices these days. Meanwhile the firmware is "coded" by shit-colored indian "coders" who get paid $1/hour. Programming the firmware requires an education, but coders are expected to learn their trade by begging for answers on Stack Overflow. Thus maintaining the illusion that programming is a task for rich white manager types who are really important people.

Now that you describe it like this, the absurd-at-first-glance three year long timespan required makes a lot more sense.
