Today, The Educator celebrates 35 outstanding service providers in Australia that are raising the bar across the education sector.
Now in its fifth year, the Service Provider Awards recognise the firms that are delivering innovative solutions and exceptional support to Australia’s schools and other educational institutions.
“Schools are facing more complexity than ever – tighter budgets, rapid technology change, teacher shortages and rising expectations from parents and students,” Award-winning principal of Westbourne Grammar in Victoria, Dr. Adrian Camm, says.
“The best service providers make life easier for educators, solve real problems and deliver actual solutions.”
Principal of Plumpton High School in NSW, Tim Lloyd, agrees on the financial burden highlighting the need for services to be “cost effective” yet connective.
“Services enable schools to function in an effective and efficient way,” Lloyd says. “For example, if you’re purchasing technology support or technology third-party products, they need to intersect and seamlessly integrate with other software packages that are involved and currently engaged in the school so that there’s no duplication of workload.”
Between 23 April and 9 May, The Educator opened for nominations to seek Australia’s most outstanding education service providers that are delivering innovative solutions and exceptional support to schools and institutions.
Once nominations closed and the arduous but nonetheless exciting task of determining the best of the best in this highly competitive, and thriving, market was finalised, The Educator team objectively assessed providers across 10 categories:
- Artificial intelligence in schools
- Interactive learning
- Learning management systems
