Esports @ Bett 2022
The Esports feature at Bett UK 2022 championed the contributions esports makes to education and the opportunities it can provide to a diverse range of young people. In 2023, attendees can expect the return of our live esports tournaments, which were a huge hit with educators and students alike. Each day, esports teams from schools across the UK competed against one another and were accompanied by a professional shoutcaster, who gave a curated explanation on the use of esports in the classroom.
Benefits of Esports in Education
Esports is more than just kids playing video games – learning through play has always been a tried-and-tested method in education, so why shouldn't that extend to the online world? Specialist programmes engage with students and their hobbies and interests, as well as expanding the possibilities in SEN classrooms. It is capable of meeting students and their needs where the traditional learning system hasn’t been suitable.
Schools already utilising esports in the classroom have seen an increase in student morale, as well as the sharpening of essential soft skills not touched on by traditional education methods. The introduction of new ways to learn has also exposed students to new opportunities, some of whom may never have considered higher education until they explored the qualifications relevant to esports.

Qualifications
Esports has links to STEM based subjects and creative skills, which can be applied in further education through a range of career paths. British Esports and Pearson released a BTEC qualification in esports in 2020, which has taken off as an option for students to study what they enjoy.
