Fujitsu and Intel launch Ambassador Programme
The new initiative aims to enhance teaching and unleash students’ potential by puting technology at the heart of education. It is aligned with the objectives of the Education Technology Action Group (ETAG), whose mission is to promote the use of digital technology across schools, further education, higher education and special education needs (SEN) sectors. As part of the programme, Fujitsu has
partnered with educational institutions across the UK, including University Campus Suffolk and the National Autistic Society. All ambassadors have been selected based on their recognition of technology as an enabler to enhance the learning experience and to develop digital skills for students and educators.
“Digital is becoming pervasive in all
aspects of our lives, apps, services and more intersecting with our day at every turn, creating a cultural shift, not just in the UK, but globally,” said Ash Merchant, head of education UK & Ireland, Fujitsu. “A recent survey by Fujitsu revealed
that around a fifth (22%) of consumers believe that digital education should be part of the modern school curriculum, highlighting a real need to see investment at the beginning of the digital journey. Schools, colleges and universities will play a crucial part – and Fujitsu is commited to enabling this move.” The initiative will see Fujitsu set up
innovation hubs at the ambassador educational institutions, featuring Fujitsu technology and providing support
on infrastructure to enable empowered and connected establishments. This will not only provide students with the opportunity to develop their digital skills, but educators themselves too. Fujitsu will support the ambassadors
in breaking down barriers to technology by building and facilitating relationships with bodies such as the Department for Education (DfE), the Education Technology Action Group (ETAG) and the Education Funding Agency (EFA). The first innovation hub was recently
launched at UTC Reading, where Lee Nicholls, Chair of Governors, cut a ribbon to mark the opening of the new centre, housing an array of Fujitsu technology including tablets, hybrid devices, laptops and desktop PCs.
