Malta is involved in an Erasmusplus project aimed at bridging the gap between digital competencies and early school leavers, enhancing the latter’s interest and motivation in the subject matter and reducing the risk of early school leaving.
The two-year project aims to challenge traditional teaching methodologies and open up to more innovative game-based learning. It will create a guide book and an online interactive toolkit to serve as a first stepping stone to encourage students to continue their studies, by embedding English and Maths with ICT.
The project partners include the Malta Information Technology Agency, St Margaret’s College, University of Malta, Donau University, Austria, and Nystromska School, Sweden.
The launch of the project in Malta was attended by Parliamentary Secretary for Competitiveness and Economic Growth José Herrera and Mita executive chairman Tony Sultana.
