Microsoft's Commitment to a Lifetime of Opportunity

Everyone should have the opportunity to realise their full potential in the classroom, and the world at large. Empowered with the knowledge that can only come from a good education, individuals are better equipped to enjoy a more fulfilling life both at home and in the workplace.

Computers have a powerful role to play in making this vision reality. The Microsoft® Partners in Learning initiative aims to aid digital inclusion and overcome the fact that not every school and every country has easy, affordable access to this technology. It also provides the framework for teachers and students to acquire the skills they need to make the best use of that technology in teaching and learning.

The goals for Partners in Learning are:

Empowering schools to significantly raise the level of information communication technology (ICT) literacy amongst their staff;
Supporting teachers and schools in developing an internal culture of innovation;
Working with schools to prepare students for the digital work place.

Global in scope, but local in implementation, Microsoft is partnering with experts in educator and curriculum development through an independent Education Leadership Forum. With representation from Government, Policy makers, Educators, and the IT Industry, its purpose is to deliver high-quality learning and development experiences for educators. It also aims to provide resources to support success in the classroom as well as providing colleague-networking opportunities.

At Microsoft, we believe that ICT in education can be a powerful catalyst to improving teaching and learning for all. Ultimately, education changes lives, families, communities, and nations. We strive to create sustainable long-term success models for educational change by bringing our resources, practices, and programmes together in partnership with educational and government leaders.
