The Minister of Education, Hekia Parata, has confirmed the next 150 schools to receive government-subsidised internal network upgrades, in readiness for ultra-fast broadband.
 
The 150 new schools confirmed for the School Network Upgrade Project (SNUP), and the updated criteria, can be viewed at www.minedu.govt.nz/networks.
 
Ms Parata says that, to keep pace with the fibre rollout, schools will be selected for SNUP in smaller groups more frequently and that the next group of schools to be upgraded is expected to be announced in early 2012.
