Equipping a school or training centre with IT
Private schools, language centres, vocational institutes: IT serves both teaching and administration. Planned well from the start, the equipment lasts for years and is easy to manage.
The computer lab
- Identical machines: easier to install, repair and replace;
- desktops rather than laptops: sturdier, cheaper and harder to steal; all-in-ones save desk space;
- an SSD and at least 8 GB of RAM for office work, 16 GB or more for CAD, video or programming;
- restricted student accounts and automatic restore so every PC is clean after a restart.
Mobile training
For training in several rooms or at client sites, a laptop trolley is more flexible. For one-off sessions, renting equipment avoids buying machines that sit idle the rest of the year: see renting or buying IT equipment in Marrakech.
Network and Wi-Fi
Thirty students online at once will overwhelm a simple router. You need cabled desktops connected to a switch, professional access points in classrooms, and a student network separate from the administration network, with content filtering.
Administration
Enrolment, fees, payroll and report cards need reliable computers, a laser multifunction or copier that handles back-to-school volumes, and automatic backups of student and family data.
Budget tips
- equip one room at a time with the same model;
- keep 5 to 10% spare machines;
- choose professional brands (HP, Dell, Lenovo) with easy-to-find parts;
- schedule a yearly cleaning during the holidays.
