Apple CEO Tim Cook discussed the need for more women in the tech sector in a new interview with the BBC.

Cook said there were "no good excuses" for the lack of women in the industry, and stressed the importance of "diverse views at the table".

Cook believes the problem starts in school: "We have to fundamentally change the number of people that are taking computer science and programming".

In fact, Cook would make a coding class mandatory in order to earn a high school diploma.
