"The aim is to support all schools and early childhood centres to embrace wireless technology, as well as bringing the technology to learners and their families at an affordable price."
"Through Excel Rotorua we hope to support our community of Rotorua into the 21st century."
Details of the project were still being finalised, along with other pilot projects which would be facilitated by Excel Rotorua.
Launched recently by Education Minister Hekia Parata, Excel Rotorua could change the way education is provided in New Zealand by providing the model for future funding and delivery of education.
The Trust, which would work with other groups to establish the Excel Rotorua action plan, with support from government agencies, is the education arm of Ngati Whakaue which has been involved in the Rotorua education sector for more than 100 years.
"We give all credit to the education sector for their engagement and enthusiasm for Excel Rotorua's vision to make Rotorua a great place for education."
