Our Labour Welsh Government is wonderful
They have a marvellous track record of 'spaffing' (as I believe the current idiom is) money on some rather badly thought out projects. Typically - but not exclusively - support for companies that go bust shortly afterwards.
This looks like another doozy.
They're spending £22 per head per year for Office for school students.
From the Microsoft website:
"Get Office 365 for free. It's not a trial! Students and teachers are eligible for Office 365 Education, which includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and now Microsoft Teams, plus additional classroom tools. All you need to get started is to enter a valid school email address below...."
That's for the A1 version - which I suspect is probably enough for the average school pupil, although it does need an internet connection to use Word online.
Another triumph for Labour!
I really can't wait for 2021 to roll around when we can get a Plaid Cymru government and independence.
