A broadband boost for rural schools
The government is running a pilot scheme to improve broadband speeds in rural primary schools.
This will give them gigabit-capable broadband which is much faster and reliable, meaning children in rural primary schools will have the same opportunities as their urban peers in preparing for a more technological future.
On the topic of preparing children for a more tech-driven future, our EdTech panel of experts on page 53 discuss how schools can prepare pupils for the rapidly changing workplace, as well as how technology can support teachers, as well as make the running of schools more efficient.
Continuing the theme of technology, Julia Garvey, LendED project lead at BESA shares the latest on the association’s projects to support schools in their take-up of technology. This comes following Damian Hinds’ call last year for the tech industry to support schools and demonstrate how technology can improve outcomes for pupils and reduce workload for teachers.
