The Education Hub
The Education Hub is a new Information Technology (IT) service for schools and educational institutions. Developed by the same Charitable Trust who pioneered the development of SchoolZone this new service is targeted at delivering education services through fast broadband access. With the increasing number of schools that are connected to fibre through the Ultra Fast Broadband and Rural Broadband Initiative the Education Hub has been created to offer schools a safe, managed and high performance internet service. The service will connect your school to the internet at the speed you need, ensure that students browse the internet safely and deliver new educational services that capitalise on high speed access.
The experience for students and teachers is : video conferencing that is crystal clear, access to engaging and stimulating websites without delays and a community of Education Hub schools that can connect, share and engage with each other through enjoying the benefits of aggregated demand.
The Education Hub has been designed by a ‘not for profit’ organisation that is governed by real educationalists.
