Schools

 

 

 

•      Fontel is committed to moving South Africa forward and contributing to the objectives of the national broadband strategy.

 

•      Fontel will install a free uncapped fibre Internet to every registered primary and high school we pass when deploying our network.

 

•      providing broadband connectivity to schools is one way in which the company is giving back to the communities in which it deploys its network.

 

•      We at Fontel we believe our children are the future and it is vital that we connect them to the information age.

 

•      fibre connection has massive impact on e-learning initiatives at the school.

 

•      Schools are lagging behind in the digital age because the cost of bandwidth has traditionally been so prohibitive.

 

 

 

Benefits for schools:

 

• Information at your fingertips for research, projects and knowledge gathering
• Introduce e-learning systems
• Host your admin and email systems in the cloud so that you no longer need to maintain a server on site
• Stay connected with tablet learning programmes and get through lessons faster and more seamlessly
• Schools are financially constrained and cannot afford computer-trained IT professionals, infrastructure maintenance and hardware costs
• Assign funds previously reserved for internet connectivity to other areas of the school
