Integration of Esports into Educational Frameworks

TLDR

• Education, not entertainment, may prove to be esports’ greatest contribution to Africa’s digital future.
• Increasingly, schools, universities and governments are recognising esports as a practical gateway into the digital economy.
• In this sense, esports functions less as a sporting activity and more as a multidisciplinary educational laboratory.
• Educational esports programmes could help narrow that gap.
• Educational institutions, ministries of education, esports organisations, technology companies, telecommunications providers, game developers, animation studios and private investors all have roles to play in building.
