Georgia Department of Education and Verizon will enable distance learning for up to 12.5 million students across 10 states
ATLANTA, July 23, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Whether distance learning from home, going back into the classroom full-time or some combination thereof, reliable Internet access, devices and security solutions will be critical to keeping up to 12.5 million students in 10 U.S. states connected as they head into the 2020-2021 school year.
亞特蘭大，2020年7月23日(環球通訊社)--無論是在家遠程學習、全日制回到教室，還是兩者的某種組合，可靠的互聯網接入、設備和安全解決方案對於讓美國10個州多達1250萬名學生在進入2020-2021年學年時保持網絡連接至關重要。
As the start of school quickly approaches, the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) has partnered with Verizon to provide a fast-track to enable distance learning for students in 10 neighboring states. Kindergarten through 12th grade (K-12) public schools in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia are able to benefit from Verizon’s sponsor-state agreement with GaDOE to provide schools in the 10 states with discounted service plans for unlimited 4G LTE Internet access, mobile device management (MDM) and Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA)-compliant security applications.
隨着開學的迅速臨近，佐治亞州教育部(GaDOE)已與Verizon合作，為鄰近10個州的學生提供快速通道，使其能夠進行遠程學習。阿拉巴馬州、阿肯色州、佛羅里達州、肯塔基州、密西西比州、新澤西州、北卡羅來納州、田納西州、弗吉尼亞州和西弗吉尼亞州的幼兒園到12年級(K-12)公立學校能夠受益於Verizon與GaDOE達成的贊助商-州協議，為這10個州的學校提供無限制4G LTE互聯網接入、移動設備管理(MDM)和符合兒童互聯網保護法案(CIPA)的安全應用折扣服務計劃。
“As a nation and as an educational community, we are truly in this together as we respond to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic,” Georgia State School Superintendent Richard Woods said. “This partnership allows us to come together with other states to leverage buying power and deliver connectivity solutions for our students.”
佐治亞州州立學校校長理查德·伍茲説：“作為一個國家，作為一個教育界，當我們應對新冠肺炎疫情的影響時，我們是真正團結在一起的。”這一夥伴關係使我們能夠與其他州走到一起，利用購買力，為我們的學生提供連接解決方案。“
Access to a reliable 4G LTE Internet connection and education solutions also help to build a more equitable educational system long-term, as lack of Internet access can impact students’ ability to attend class virtually, complete homework, or read and engage in educational and extracurricular opportunities.
從長遠來看，接入可靠的4G LTE互聯網連接和教育解決方案也有助於建立更公平的教育體系，因為缺乏互聯網接入可能會影響學生虛擬上課、完成作業或閲讀和參與教育和課外機會的能力。
“Together with the Georgia Department of Education, Verizon has stepped up to help solve the mission-critical need for up to 12.5 million students across 10 states to have the Internet access, devices and security solutions they need to continue learning,” said Andrés Irlando, senior vice president and president, Public Sector and Verizon Connect at Verizon. “The unprecedented and unpredictable nature of the Covid-19 pandemic has reinforced the importance of keeping students connected to their schools, teachers and each other no matter the learning environment.”
Verizon高級副總裁兼公共部門和Verizon Connect總裁安德烈斯·伊蘭多(Andrés Irlando)説，“與佐治亞州教育部一道，Verizon已經加快步伐，幫助解決10個州多達1250萬學生的關鍵任務需求，讓他們擁有繼續學習所需的互聯網接入、設備和安全解決方案。”“新冠肺炎疫情史無前例且不可預測的性質，強化了無論在何種學習環境下，保持學生與學校、老師以及彼此之間聯繫的重要性。”
