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.
