In Sweden, no education exists to become a high school teacher in sports, instead the upper secondary schools are based on previous experiences in the specific computer games that the specializations have when hiring someone, says Lillie Klefelt, communicator at Sverok. According to Sverok, there is currently no system of rules for education.
In Umeå, high school students can read e-sports orientation with Counter Strike on their individual choice. You have two teachers - but only one who is qualified.
- It is not so easy to find educated teachers who are also merited in the sport, even if it is our ambition, says the headmaster Mattias Byström.
Therefore, to ensure both quality and excellence, you have two teachers, a legitimate sports teacher and one who can Counter Strike.
According to Mattias Byström, it is not very high pressure among students to read e-sports orientation.
"Maybe not many people want to invest in it wholeheartedly," he says.
