Hordaland fylkeskommune aims to enter into a framework agreement for computers for students.
Students in the first year of sixth form college (Vg 1) will be offered to order a subsidised computer, either a Windows — or OSX/IOS compatible model. Students are free to purchase either through the framework agreement with Hordaland fylkeskommune or elsewhere, and therefore this framework agreement facilitates a voluntary offer to the students.
There are approximately 7,000 students in the first year of sixth form college in Hordaland, and for the 2016/17 school year 60 % of the students purchased devices through the scheme. Of these, approximately 75 % chose Windows compatible machines and 25 % OSX compatible machines, and more of the Windows compatible basic model were purchased.
