Andorra’s Education System to Replace Tablets with Laptops for Students
Andorra la Vella, December 16, 2024 – The Government of Andorra has announced the purchase of 250 new laptops for the Andorran School system. These laptops will replace the current tablets used by students, starting from the next academic year.
The decision to switch to laptops was made after a thorough evaluation of the needs of students and teachers. The government determined that laptops would provide a more comprehensive and productive learning environment.
Laptops offer several advantages over tablets for educational purposes. They have larger screens, which make it easier to view and work on documents, presentations, and other learning materials. Additionally, laptops have more powerful processors and memory, which allows for smoother and faster operation of software and applications.
The government has also invested in additional resources to support the implementation of laptops in the classroom. These resources include training for teachers on how to effectively integrate technology into their lessons and technical support for students who may encounter any issues with their devices.
The purchase of these laptops is part of the government’s ongoing commitment to improving the quality of education in Andorra. By providing students with access to the latest technology, the government aims to enhance their learning experiences and prepare them for the challenges of the 21st-century workforce.
The new laptops are expected to be delivered to the Andorran School system in the summer of 2025. Students and teachers will begin using the devices at the start of the 2025-2026 academic year.
Additional Information:
- The total cost of the laptop purchase is €150,000.
- The laptops will be purchased from a local supplier.
