The Elephant in the Staff Room - 1:1 student computing explained.

Join the Head of Learning & Development at Microsoft as we explore 1:1 student computing in education with HardSoft.

With all the challenges that schools are facing at the moment, the last thing you want to be worrying about is your IT equipment. Having worked with many schools over a number of years, we fully understand the budgetary challenges associated with a child’s education. Only 1% of UK Primary Schools currently offer one device per student, in the US this figure is 85%. The potential for improvement is high, but until now there have been some barriers. Powered by Microsoft, our Devices for Education Teams solution delivers a budget-friendly student technology package for just 50p per student per day.
