Thanks to the collaboration with The Cloud, a free Wi-Fi network was set up in the city centre of Wassenberg two and a half years ago – laying the digital foundation for the transformation into a ‘smart city’. The Betty Reis European School is benefiting from the further expansion of the city's cooperation with The Cloud. In just one week, The Cloud employees equipped the school with a reliable Wi-Fi network of 35 access points for the 1,300 students and 110 teachers.
The students are also enthusiastic about the improved possibilities. Their spokesperson, Nick K., reported that the now ‘absolutely reliable’ network and the possibilities for research and free access to the Internet at any time are already being put to good use. His classmate Lisa S. adds: ‘Especially during free periods, we upper school students can now work much better.’
Headmistress Dr. Karin Hilgers explains that all existing and proven rules for using the internet, including with their own smartphones, will remain in place. Students at the school are not allowed to use their devices privately during breaks, but only ‘in class, when permitted by teachers.’
