We provide Windows XP Professional Upgrade and Vista Business Upgrade. This means
that students could buy an upgrade (for example from Home Basic to Windows Vista
Business) for much less than from a high street store.
Also the majority of PCs and laptops sold to consumers come configured with XP Home
or Windows Vista Home Basic. One of the limitations of this is that they cannot
connect to a network. This is quite important for colleges, and certain schools.
We have seen some schools bringing in laptop initiatives for pupils, and this will
give them the ability to purchase a low cost upgrade option. The option to Upgrade
to the professional versions also provides the user with a faster, more secure,
operating system.
We provide professional versions of Office. The Student and Teacher version that
you would have seen online or in shops is the limited Home and Student version.
This does not include Outlook, Access, or Publisher - these are only available on
the Professional Versions, which are available through Software4Students. This may
be less important to primary schools, but secondary schools require Access to deliver
the ICT curriculum, thus some schools may prefer students to be able to use this
at home. If a student wants to buy Access separately, it will typically cost £120-£150
elsewhere.
The focus of the programme is to bring easy access to low cost top of the range
software to students and pupils, without administrative overheads for the school.
This is the primary benefit of the programme.
There are many other benefits to the programme. The programme helps students and
parents cross the digital divide; it presents an easy, no administration, hassle
free, fully compliant solution for schools and colleges while providing access to
the software at the lowest possible price point.
The rebate can be significant for colleges and secondary schools. Primary schools
may also benefit greatly from letting pupils know that they can save money on software.
The Software4Students programme is more than just supporting ICT in schools, saving
pupils money, making more software available for students, or making the same school
license deals available to pupils. It's a mix of all of these things, and every
time a single pupil buys software through the scheme:
- the school gets a small rebate
- the parent/pupil/student saves money
- the pupil gets more software than if they had bought a similar pack in store
- pupils are encouraged to use ICT a little bit more for their learning.
