Jamf (NASDAQ: JAMF), the standard in Apple Enterprise Management,
empowers educational institutions worldwide to adapt and grow in
the new distance learning environment. Our global teams ensure
students and teachers can continue learning with the Apple devices
they know and love in the remote world. Jamf is a solution that can
be used in educational institutions planning on implementing Apple
devices in their classrooms, as proven by government funding in
countries like Japan and Germany.
Technology Initiatives Backed by Government Funding -
Germany 2020 brought on many challenges, especially
for students and teachers with limited access to technology before
the lockdown. Many schools in Germany don't use technology in the
classroom, and most teachers aren’t given a school-issued computer
to teach their classes. Because of this, schools struggled to
continue lessons for their students. In April 2020, the German
government announced that they would be giving more than €500
million to the “Corona Emergency Fund” to provide learning devices
for pupils and students. This was in addition to a €7 billion
“DigitalPakt Schule” fund that aims to improve digital
infrastructure in schools.
Many schools throughout Germany were far behind in implementing
technology into classrooms, but throughout the year great progress
was made. The city of Bremen ordered around 100,000 iPads, all
managed by Jamf, for each student and teacher to have an iPad for a
1:1 distance learning environment. Thanks to the success students
and teachers had with their new iPads and adapting to a distance
learning environment, the German government will continue the
funding into 2021 to ensure schools throughout the country remain
successful.
"2020 was a big year for digitalization across German schools
and we were no exception. We are thrilled to be able to give each
student the possibility to work with an iPad, the best learning
technology. Using Jamf to ensure the device is managed meant our
teachers, students, and parents were able to use them in a
productive and safe way," said Oliver Denk, Responsible for MDM,
Die Senatorin für Kinder und Bildung - Bremen.
The GIGA School Project - JapanThe GIGA School
project was a government initiative to implement at least one
device for each of the 9 million elementary (grades 1-6) and junior
high (grades 7-9) students in Japan. The project’s original goal
was to have the devices implemented over five years; however,
COVID-19, accelerated the goal to be completed in one year. Status
reports and additional documents for this project is provided by
The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology
(MEXT).
The Jamf Japan team worked alongside Japanese telecom NTT Docomo
and Apple’s Education team to roll out iPad for elementary and
junior high school students across more than 100 boards of
education. Students in Yokohama, Kumamoto and other cities were
able to manage their devices and access their teachers and classes
during the pandemic.Apple recognizes schools that demonstrate the
Apple vision for learning with technology as ‘AppleDistinguished
Schools.’ Currently in Japan, 8 of the 9 Apple Distinguished
Schools are using Jamf to manage their Apple products. With the
overwhelming success of these schools and the GIGA School project,
Jamf will target around 3 million high school students (grades
10-12) to continue this growth into 2021.
