We understand the pressure that principals have been under to re-open schools, and now that they are open, it is time to put in place the support necessary to keep everyone in education.
It is clear from the recent Department of Education guidelines that provision must be made for at-risk pupils and teachers across the country and the Zoom project will assist in this regard.
This project will deliver huge savings and benefits for each school that participates and is available to every primary and post-primary school in Ireland.
This offer is open to every primary and post-primary school in Ireland.
IMS is holding a free information webinar for all schools next Thursday at 7.30 pm to answer all questions schools may have around this offer.
This webinar is open to Teachers, SNAs, Board of Management, and Parent Association members.

An important point to remember is that just because a school has Teams, G Suite or WebEx, this does not preclude them from using Zoom. In fact, there is no conflict at all; Zoom complements and enhances all existing learning management systems, it is more robust, easier to use, has superior video and audio quality, and user awareness than any other conferencing system. Zoom is not a document sharing system.
Your involvement is vital, this Zoom project requires minimum participation numbers at a national level to achieve these savings.
