Original data on esports education
Schools are asked to invest in esports without any independent basis for comparison. We publish the data we use ourselves: how curriculum providers actually compare, and how ready schools in the region really are.
Curriculum Provider Index
Esports curriculum providers scored 0 to 100 on accreditation, curriculum depth, teacher supply, safeguarding and six more criteria. 5 entries published so far.

How many schools in Thailand and Southeast Asia have a dedicated space, an active team, esports inside the curriculum, or a wellbeing policy. Published as aggregates, never as a league table of named schools.

The annual report drawing both datasets together: what provision exists, what is missing, and where the capability gaps sit.
Read the 2026 reportHow we score
Every provider is scored on the same ten criteria. Each criterion is rated 0 to 4 against a fixed definition, weighted, and converted to a score out of 100.
A criterion is only scored when a public source supports it. Where nothing is published, the criterion is marked "not published" and left out of the calculation rather than scored zero, so no provider is penalised for information we could not verify. The coverage figure on each entry shows how much of the rubric was verifiable.
Squid Esports is scored by the same rubric, from the same kind of public evidence, as every other entry. Where Squid does not publish something, it is marked "not published" too.
