[News] N4L reaches 500,000 school users on Managed Network
More than half a million students and teachers across New Zealand are now using N4L’s Managed Network to support their learning, with schools continuing to connect to the government-funded service well ahead of schedule.
Today more than 470,000 students and 33,000 teachers from 1460+ schools (nearly 60% of all schools) are using the Managed Network for fast and reliable internet services, which includes uncapped data, web filtering and network security.
When the rollout is complete by the end of next year, more than 800,000 users are expected to be using the Managed Network.
“The uptake from schools and the pace of the rollout is encouraging,” says N4L CEO John Hanna. “Key to this is the collaborative and tailored approach we take to transitioning schools onto the Managed Network.
“Our team is out there visiting schools, working with their local technology providers in all corners of the country. It really is a team approach and together, we are all driven by the new learning opportunities and brighter futures of the young people we are designing these connections for. Helping our young people achieve their best and preparing them for their future is really what this is all about.”
