Apple wants to teach people all around the world to code, so the company is making the move to colleges worldwide.
In a Tuesday announcement Apple announced it's introducing its Everyone Can Code initiative — which works to teach coding and app-building skills with the help of its programming language called Swift — to over 20 colleges and universities outside of the United States.

The full-year engineer-designed course is expected to pass along fundamental coding skills to students and turn first-time coders into potential pros.
RMIT will also offer scholarships for teachers with coding aspirations, along with a free summer school course for those interested in studying the basics.

Our program has been incredibly popular among US schools and colleges, and today marks an important step forward as we expand internationally," Apple CEO Tim Cook said in the release.
"We are proud to work with RMIT and many other schools around the world who share our vision of empowering students with tools that can help them change the world."
Back in August Apple announced that in the 2017-2018 school year the coding curriculum would be adopted by over 30 community colleges in the United States.
This year, in addition to the U.S. schools and RMIT, over 20 international universities located everywhere from Denmark and the Netherlands to New Zealand and the UK will introduce the beneficial course in hopes of preparing students for successful futures, which mayor may not be related to the App Store.
