The development of skills and competencies in Computing education has been identified as one of the major challenges for training students, educators, and professionals in the coming decade. There is an urgent need to rethink higher education in Computing in Brazil. The current training model is outdated and must evolve to prepare professionals who are not only technically proficient but also socially responsible and adaptable. This transformation requires the development of competencies that go beyond technical expertise. In this article, we discuss the role and impact of meta-computational skills in Computing education.
