14.09.2016
Pupils at Bergen's Garnes Vidaregaande High School displayed their computer gaming on Wednesday, as one of the first schools to introduce an initiative bringing multiplayer games into Norwegian classrooms.
The initiator of the project, Petter Johnstad said the classes taught "pupils to communicate efficiently, to cooperate with team members, also to think strategically." He hoped that the enthusiasm students showed for this class would mean they were more "positive about school life in general." One student said he liked the classes because they were "the same as I do at home" claiming it made him "more social."
A limited amount of pupils, who have reached an average grade of 4 (out of 6 possible grades) can participate in the class. The pupils compete against each other in two teams playing games such as "League of Legends" and "Counter-Strike". The pupils are offered high-end gaming PCs but have to engage in physical exercises and learn about a healthy life as part of the classes.
