Harnessing Technology Grant

E learning credits have been replaced with the Harnessing Technology Grant. Total funding available 2008-2011: £639.5 million (£237.5m in 2008-09, £201m in each of financial years 2009-10, 2010-11). The Government is investing £21.7 billion in schools capital and ICT between 2008 and 2011.

Every school, local authority and diocese in the country will receive resources through a range of programmes.

This is the statement from the Grant document:

“The Harnessing Technology Grant can be used to pay for subscription services, but only if the terms and conditions of the service mean that either the assets being paid for (or a perpetual licence to use those assets) pass into the ownership of the school or local authority at the end of the service period; or the school or local authority receives a licence to use the digital curriculum materials for a specified time period which is longer than one year.”

The Nutrition Program can be bought with this grant as it meets the criteria which are below. You can extend the subscription to 2 years.
