A project that promotes game-based learning has been launched in an attempt to reduce early school-leaving.

The EU Erasmus+ project is run by the Malta Information Technology Agency, Mita.

A guide book and online interactive toolkit will help encourage students to continue their studies, by embedding English and Maths with ICT, the Parliamentary Secretariat for Competitiveness and Economic Growth said.

“With proper training, the use of games in schools as a learning tool can contribute towards enhanced learning and to instil more creativity in classrooms,” Parliamentary Secretary José Herrera said at the launch last week.

The project will come to an end in September 2017. The results collected will be analysed and recommendations and best practices will be evaluated for future projects.
