18/11/20 - Vodafone schools.connected programme
The Vodafone schools.connected programme is now open to primary and secondary school children across the UK.
The emergency package helps pupils who find it difficult to access education from home because they don’t have the right connectivity.
Reports suggest children in England are at least three months behind in their studies due to COVID-19 restrictions, with disadvantaged pupils amongst the worst hit.
Today, Vodafone UK announced it is giving free connectivity to 250,000 children across the UK to help them access school work from home, catch up on lost learning during school holidays and continue with their education if they are required to isolate. The Vodafone schools.connected support – in the form of data SIMs – is available to primary and secondary school children in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
Schools can order the data SIMs to give to pupils who find it difficult to access education from home because they don’t have the right connectivity. Each SIM has a 30GB data allowance valid for 90 days. To order, visit: http://www.vodafone.co.uk/schoolsconnected.
