80.81 of the city of Bern, Switzerland, voted yes for replacement of the city's school IT infrastructure

The project, called "base4kids2" will

• Bring WLAN to every kindergarden and school in the city

• Every teacher will get one personal iPad (with keyboard) while

  • Kindergarteners and second graders will get one for four students
  • 3. - 6. graders will get one for two stundents
  • after that, every student will get a personal one.

ByoD will be possible since most apps are web based.

• They will build a collaborative learning platform based on open source products like:

  • Nextcloud
  • Moodle
  • Mahara
  • Kolab
  • Collabora
  • Mattermost

Microsoft products will no longer be provided (as Office will be replaced with Libreoffice) but students are free to use Office if they pay for the licence themselves.
