Education

Using computers as a systematic learning aid is still a dream of the future. Recent studies1 show that usage of available IT infrastructure in schools is below average and currently it doesn’t even meet today’s requirements. Nearly 80 percent of students in secondary schools never use computers in the core subjects such as languages, mathematics and sciences.

Hipsburn First School is situated in the north of England, in the rural village of Lesbury, which has a population of just under 900. The school works hard to deliver the very best education to its 90 pupils and constantly strives to make curriculum improvements that will enhance the classroom experience. Yet, as many schools in the UK will attest, trying to do so under ever tightening education budgets brings with it serious difficulties.

Polish schools have been dealing with computerisation for years now. Recently, the process has gained in importance as well as becoming subject to a growing number of requirements. Schools are forced to increase the numbers of their computer stations to ensure they are available to as many pupils as possible. Yet schools are facing budget constraints which means that they can rarely afford new PC purchases or foot the growing bill for computer maintenance.

Amity University has multi-faceted IT requirements–from running administrative applications to powering their computer labs. When their old, PC-based labs required a facelift, they decided to go for a more reliable, scalable and flexible computing setup. NComputing won hands-down as it offered a technically superior solution at a fraction of the expected costs.
