The mSchools programme was launched in 2013 by Mobile World Capital Barcelona to promote mobile education through partnerships between public and private institutions. It focuses on three areas: encouraging learning with mobile through apps and activities, improving digital skills and entrepreneurship, and building an open environment for sharing mobile education resources. The programme aims to improve student achievement and employability through new approaches to teaching and learning with mobile technology.
