New report shows kids want an eSports qualification in schools

eSports is now considered a useful skill by more than half of the kids surveyed.

A new report from Dell and Intel reveals that UK students are increasingly in support of pursuing eSports as a qualification, believing it would be as useful as a traditional school subject like maths or science.

Out of 700 students, 53% believe or strongly believe that eSports is a useful skill, and 56% believed a qualification in eSports could help them get into university. 78% of UK students now claim to be gamers, saying that it has driven other passions such as content creation.

An eSports qualification, according to the kids surveyed, could help with critical thinking, new skill acquisition, and ability to communicate.

What do you think? Is an eSports qualification something that we should allow in schools?

Thanks, eSports Insider.
