Abstract
Starting from the influential Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, this paper presents a synopsis of current frameworks and curricula in terms of (informatical) education at the secondary school level. Some initiatives from well known organizations and institutions show the global and national efforts to structure the fragmented field of computing at the school level. The definitive answer as to whether a perceptible process of harmonization seems to be realistic in the near future cannot yet be given, but there are some positive indicators.
