Summary
The gaming industry is no stranger to the value of education within games as illustrated by resources such as Assassin's Creed: Origins Discovery Tour.
The potential for gaming in education isn't limited just to video games.
Ultimately, whether online or on mobile, multi or single-player, any game that can embed learning through play and reflect the content of the curriculum will only serve to ease the burden of teachers in ensuring pupils remained engaged and motivated.
The UK Government has also recently announced that it will invest £8 million to help support entrepreneurial, start-up video game developers from across the UK to create new games.
Not only has the gaming industry become a resource for education and training, but it is also creating jobs for the next generation.
With the ever-increasing demand for AR and VR technology, professional esports players and game creators are crucial for both training platforms and building the metaverse.
As the results of the aforementioned survey show, there's growing recognition among the people responsible for educating our children that gaming can play an important role in their education.
