TELA+ digital devices for teachers and principals
All permanent full-time and part-time teachers (0.5 FTE and over) in state and integrated schools can lease selected digital devices from Acer, Apple, HP, Lenovo and Microsoft for a three-year period. The range of devices includes laptops, tablets, and Chromebooks. The Ministry pays up to two-thirds of the cost and teachers or schools cover the remaining third.
All state and integrated schools are able to access a fully subsidised principal's laptop, tablet, or Chromebook on a three-year lease, with upgrade models available at an extra cost.
