British kids are now able to learn about, and discuss, videogames at school. For grades! For reals! The British government have announced a range of gaming courses for British schoolkids, ranging from an advanced media studies diploma for sixth-formers (which will get them to "'critically respond to a range of computer games") to courses for younger kids where they can learn about the "historical development" of videogames. Expect enrolments to be somewhat popular.
