As partners in the program, the schools will join Lenovo and Microsoft to promote and drive the widespread adoption of technology in the education space.Selected partner schools will also be invited to join the EdVision Summit, as well as receive a “classroom make-over” and subsidy for Smart Classroom deployment and support in faculty education.

The program begins in the Philippines, followed by Indonesia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia.

Partners in the EdVision program will enjoy an early view into future technologies that can make education more flexible, tailored, and effective. Lenovo and Microsoft offer a complete set of solutions, designed for convenience of use, ease of understanding, flexibility, and collaboration. Specifically, the Lenovo Smart Classroom will comprise a combination of Lenovo devices and hardware and software from industry-leading partners.

Students and educators are part of the journey of this program. To make it even more exciting, Lenovo Philippines is holding the Traveling Storybook Contest that will challenge students’ creativity and share Filipino students’ vision towards the future of education and the classroom with the world.
