Promethean has been awarded a “multi-million” euro contract to install 4,550 of its ActivBoard+2 interactive whiteboards, together with ActivInspire, its teaching and learning software, in 1,900 schools in the Spanish region of Andalucia.
The contract represents around a 70 per cent share of the total number of interactive whiteboards available under this tender.
Andalucia has the largest population of Spain’s 17 autonomous regions. Completion of this roll-out means some 8 per cent of the estimated 78,000 classrooms in Andalucia will be equipped with interactive whiteboards.
This project is funded through the Spanish Government’s Escuela ICT 2.0 programme, one of a number of financial stimulus packages targeted at education technology across the EU.
‘This contract is further evidence of the growing adoption of interactive learning technology in Europe, which is a key growth market for Promethean,’ said Paul Berry, Promethean’s president of European sales and marketing.
