Spain’s industry ministry has announced the extension of its ‘Connected Schools’ programme to the autonomous communities of Andalucia and Murcia. The regions follow Asturias, Galicia, Canary Islands, Castilla La Mancha and La Rioja in receiving broadband at speeds of up to 100 Mbps in a total investment of EUR 72.9 million. In total, some 1.4 million pupils in 4,141 state-funded primary and secondary schools in Andalucia and Murcia will be connected to the high-speed broadband network.
ICT development agency Red.es has been entrusted with managing the project, which is part of Spain’s Digital Agenda objectives and will be part funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). The ultimate aim is to connect 6.5 million students in over 16,500 state-funded schools all over Spain, above all in rural areas.
