Introduction
In this new century, powerful advancements in information technology are transforming education on a global
scale.
More than 23 million K-12 students worldwide
now have 24 hours a day, seven days a week
access to their own laptop, and the numbers are
growing exponentially. That reality can offer
extraordinary possibilities for young learners, yet
it can create enormous challenges for the school
systems working to break free of antiquated
models for delivering education.
More than 20 years ago, Microsoft saw the possibilities of 1:1 learning and has been working with education
leaders and consultants around the world to capture that learning; to help policy makers, school leaders, and
educators get the most from their technology investments.
Use this guide to find out more about each of the offerings available. Workshops can be customised based on
context and need.

Professional Development
During times of scarce resources and increased accountability, leadership must strike a balance between
operational excellence and strategic relevance. It is no longer acceptable to be “good enough.” Educational
institutions need to demonstrate to all stakeholders that the ideal future is a more engaging, efficient, and
prosperous one. Strategic planning that aligns policy stakeholders with this transformative vision of education can
be a key driver of future economic success.
Microsoft, working with international educational experts, provides workshops that help policy makers develop,
refine, and get to a shared educational vision that supports new initiatives, policies, and reforms.
