Keep classrooms connected in 2025 with Glo’s cost effective school data solutions: 93 GB–425 GB monthly, 675 GB termly, 1 TB yearly, plus campus boosters, night time bonuses, and diaspora top up methods.
Why Reliable Internet Matters for Schools
Modern education depends on digital tools:
- E learning Platforms (Google Classroom, Moodle)
- Digital Libraries (e books, journals)
- Online Collaboration (video Q&A, group projects)
- Admin Systems (exam registration, staff communications)
Without sufficient data, lessons stall, research halts, and administrative tasks pile up. Glo’s 2025 school focused bundles deliver the bandwidth schools need—at prices that fit institutional budgets.
Key Benefits of Glo’s Educational Data Plans
- Bulk Savings: Mega and multi month bundles lower cost per MB.
- Campus Rates: Special Campus Booster zones grant extra data within school premises.
- Shared Connectivity: One router or MiFi device can serve entire labs or admin offices.
- Night Bonuses: Off peak data (12 AM–5 AM) for backups and software updates.
- Diaspora Support: Alumni or NGOs abroad can top up school lines instantly.
