Commercial Reality for Education
Increasing pressure on educational institutions to become more “commercially minded”
Become more competitive (domestic and internationally)
Differentiate and provide unique value Streamline & reduce overheadsBe agile
Do More…..
….with Less
Managing the Change
Too much focus on the technology itself rather than the right application to successful delivery of education
The solution isn’t to replace everything
…but rather it’s the integration of the elements that make sense
Microsoft in Education
We are committed to providing technology tools, programmes and solutions that enable lifelong learners to realise their full potential.
“Technology is only part of the solution. All the computers in the world won’t make a difference without enthusiastic students, skilled and committed teachers, involved and informed parents, and a society that underscores the value of lifelong learning.”
