The Chinese Ministry of Education's new directive has allowed vocational colleges in the country to open up 13 new majors next year, and one of these is a major in Electronic Sports.
Vice Dean of the Hunan Sports Vocational College Liu Jun commented on the new major, saying: "we want to churn out all kinds of professionals in club management, data analysis, tactics design, sports brokering, coaching, judging and anchoring. Esports players are just one of the many options [...] we encourage our teaching staff to engage in advanced studies in electronic companies to gain firsthand experience. At the same time we will also hire experienced professionals and technicians from the industry who will be trained into qualified teachers."
