Broadband in schools rollout making great progress

This week National announced the latest schools to be connected to the ultra-fast broadband network. A further 23 schools in Hamilton, Tauranga, New Plymouth, and Whanganui will be able to be connected to the network by July.

Ultra-fast broadband in schools will revolutionise the way kids learn. Schools will be able to share scarce specialist teachers, and students will be able to take part in virtual classrooms and courses that might not be available at their own schools.

Building a more competitive and productive economy is one of National’s four key priorities and ultra-fast broadband in schools is an important part of this.
