Added features with the updated TELA+ scheme

As reported in the previous Education Gazette teacher laptop scheme article, Cyclone Computer Company will manage the TELA scheme from 1 March 2018. The scheme will also be renamed TELA+ and be launched online on 2 March.

The TELA+ scheme will no longer offer Toshiba devices but will add Acer, Apple, HP, Lenovo and Microsoft to its range. There will also be a wider selection of devices that will include laptops, tablets/hybrids and Chromebook models.

How this will affect you

The Ministry of Education subsidy will continue for all eligible principals and teachers.

The TELA website(external link) will continue to operate and from 2 March will have a new design and additional features (login required).

Any devices purchased under the TELA scheme before 1 March 2018 will continue to be covered for service and repairs under the original terms agreed at time of purchase through the TELA scheme.
