Struggling economies have tightened education budgets around the world; however, a growing number of school systems are turning to Office 365 to improve collaboration, communications and productivity, all while reducing costs. Microsoft today announced several such institutions in Central and Eastern Europe – schools that are adopting Microsoft Office 365 to prepare their students for a world based on technology. Education institutions across the region, including School Center Skofja Loka (Slovenia), EDUCATIVA (Romania), TEI Kalamata (Greece), Kozminski University (Poland), University of Maribor, Faculty of Economics and Business (Slovenia), and Vaikystes Sodas (Lithuania), are using the cloud to change the way students learn and staff teach.
Today’s announcement marks the latest in a series of education institutions that are reducing costs while improving their technology infrastructures with Office 365. We recently announced several U.S. universities moving to Office 365, and in January, Morocco’s Office of Vocational Training and Employment Promotion selected Office 365 to help enhance its education and vocational training programs.
