Does your school regularly suffer from the aftermath of poor, unreliable connectivity? If so, keep reading to learn more about how the latest government funding for education, Connect the Classroom, could help to improve Wi-Fi access points across your entire campus.
What is Connect the Classroom?
Connect the Classroom is a visionary government initiative, led by the Department for Education, which is dedicated to enhancing connectivity in schools across the UK.
In an era driven by digital learning, the importance of a dependable school Wi-Fi network cannot be overstated. Accordingly, the government has unveiled a funding program tailored to support schools with inadequate Wi-Fi connections to provide a fairer learning experience for all.
Who is eligible for Connect the Classroom funding?
Eligibility for the Connect the Classroom funding is determined based on Ofsted’s criteria for schools with insufficient Wi-Fi connectivity. The program initially focuses on 55 Key Education Investment Areas identified as needing the most support. However, schools outside these areas may also qualify based on their Ofsted ratings.
To check if your school or educational institution is eligible, please visit the official government website here.
