The Korea e-Sports Association announced on the 29th that it has sent 21 e-sports leaders to 20 middle and high schools nationwide and has begun operating the 'School E-Sports Club Support Project'.
The 「School Esports Club Support Project」, which is promoted as part of the school esports activation project, is designed to build a sustainable esports environment within the school and develop a curriculum for each level to provide customized programs to each school. Through this, students can take the lead in running e-sports clubs. Leaders who completed the 'ESports Leadership Workshop' in August will be dispatched to this program.
Starting with this project, the association said it will educate ordinary students on the right game usage habits, media understanding skills, and sportsmanship to promote the spread of a healthy e-sports culture. In addition, it will provide systematic training and career counseling to aspiring professional athletes to support a balance between study and life.
In the class held at Mirae Industrial Science High School (Nowon-gu, Seoul) on the 15th, beyond game technology guidance, correct game culture, customized programs for each level, and cooperation and sportsmanship education through team activities were conducted. Students who participated in the class became aware of e-sports as an area of industry and career, and teachers confirmed the possibility that the game could extend to education and career paths, the association said.
The association also announced that starting this year, it will gradually expand the size of leader dispatch and the number of schools participating so that esports can establish itself as a healthy axis of school education and youth culture.
