This report provides a complete view of the demand for PCs in K-12 schools across six country markets. It also explores how attitudes to BYOD are evolving following the Covid-19 lockdowns, particularly with regards to the deployment process. 

BYOD is starting to impact how vendors approach the education market as the channels in which these devices are purchased can differ from institutional sales. Equally, the purchase decision making criteria or added value sales opportunity when driven by a parent purchase can provide new opportunities for vendors. 

While the connectivity divide has been present in education long before the Covid-19 pandemic struck, virtual learning and hybrid classrooms have brought internet connectivity to the forefront of the EdTech industry. As a result, the interest in mobile network connectivity, such as 4G, Long-Term Evolution (LTE) and 5G within K-12 has gained further momentum, triggered by the move towards distance learning and the long-term plans for a hybrid teaching model. ​

This report provides an assessment of the opportunity for mobile connected devices in the K-12 market over the coming five years.
