2025 will see Soltech IT continue to donate IT equipment to school's throughout the Southwest as part of our 'Giving Back To Schools' donation campaign. 


We were delighted to be able to donate more than £15,000 of 65" and 75" Promethean ActivPanel Touchscreens to six local schools and MAT's.


Gareth Jones, commented "As a business it's great to be able to give something back to schools, be they a customer or not. Our most recent donations have helped transform the learning environments of pupils which is something we are very proud of."


These most recent donations have not only included a 65" or 75" Promethean ActivPanel Touchscreen, the schools have also received WiFi module upgrades, Android functionality, wall mounting brackets and relevant cables, plus delivery, removal / WEEE disposal of old equipment, installation and training, all as part of Soltech IT's donation.


That's around a £3,000 donation at each school or MAT.

Schools throughout the UK are embracing Googles remote learning tools, with many more looking to move to a Google solution.


One of the common questions we are asked is 'What is the difference between G-Suite for Education and Google Workspace?'


To answer that question;


Google recently rebranded G-Suite as Google Workspace, whilst also increasing the functionality and introducing its newly integrated desktop environment that is designed to enhance overall collaboration and communications.


However, Google Workspace is currently only available to commercial organisations, although Google plans to bring Google Workspace to its non-profit and education clients in the coming months.


So for now, schools and other education establishments can continue to use and access tools through G-Suite for Education.


Soltech IT is an approved Google Partner and a recently approved Google Workspace Partner. Our Google qualifications and skillsets meet the very latest high standards required by Google to hold the approved partner status, we are uniquely placed to support and guide schools as they move forward with new Google solutions, or to help schools looking to develop and improve existing deployments of G-Suite for Education.
