A digital education portal to give schools access to new teaching and learning resources was launched today.
The portal is part of a $211 million managed network which provides schools with fast, uncapped internet, content filtering and network security services.
Education Minister Hekia Parata said the portal would give schools
access to trusted, high-quality learning resources and make safe online collaboration easy.
She expected 700 schools to be connected to the Government-funded managed network, developed by Crown-owned company Network for Learning, by the end of the year.
Associate Education Minister Nikki Kaye said it could be a challenge for teachers and students to find information they could trust.
