In addition to haggis and William Wallace, Scotland will now also beknown for teaching video game design in its schools. This part of thecountry's revised national curriculum, according to Digital Spy.
Yesterday, Schools Minister Maureen Watt (right) talked about thedecision with the Press Association, Scotland's national news service."There is huge confidence that Scotland will continue to play animportant part in the future of video games and interactiveentertainment," she said; "and we are focusing on establishing firmfoundations forlifelong learning and, for some, specialized study and career."
While people might not immediately associate Scotland as a hotbed ofgame development, it is home to studios like Realtime Worlds andRockstar North, as well as several other developers. Of course, this move could also mean larger things on a social scale: considering how the British government seems to have a love/hate relationship with video games, teaching game construction may have the side effect of making them socially acceptable to those in power.
