Acer is one of the world's largest branded PC vendors, providing both marketing and service operations across the world.

A leading manufacturer of innovative technologies, Acer has accrued a wealth of experience in the education sector, making it by far the leader in this area and enabling teachers and pupils in the UK to achieve the best possible results.

This has been demonstrated under the British Educational Communications and Technology Association (Becta) Laptops for Teachers (LfT) programme, where a large number of LEA's (Local Education Authorities) have chosen to purchase Acer PCs.

In 2002, Acer was successful in the selection of suppliers for the LfT initiative.

This scheme provides teachers with laptop computers for use at home or school.

Acer will continue to participate in this scheme until 2006.

Becta

Around one third of Acer's overall UK sales to the educational sector have been generated through its selection by Becta.

Out of the broad range of product that Acer offer, the products currently available under the Becta/LfT scheme can be supplied by Readycrest.

"East Sussex LEA decided to make the Acer TravelMate 272XC our preferred choice for first year of the Laptops for Teachers initiative.

We held an evaluation day whereby five manufacturers were invited to demonstrate their laptops to an audience made up of LEA staff, teachers and ICT co-ordinators.

Acer came out on top due to its high specification, ergonomic design, ease of use and portability.

We have been so impressed with the laptops, and the associated support and distribution, that we will be happy to use Acer again this year for the second year of the initiative."

Kevin Williams, Technical Team Leader, Schools ICT Services Team, East Sussex County Council
