eduCCate Global was set up to create a program for education that would ensure every child, could have access to an education inclusive of Climate Change Education. Since the start of the School Strikes by Greta Thunberg, it has been a focal point for many children and their families across the world.
EdUnity works with schools around the world to upgrade their communications infrastructure, streamline administration and enhance school-tech. One of the many ways we can support this, is by helping schools to go paperless - and it's a great stepping stone in your school's journey to become more environmentally progressive.
Right now, in a collaborative effort with eduCCate Global - EdUnity is working to create new ways that can help drive a sustainable and greener future. From tackling Knowledge Gaps to Going Paperless and addressing School Food Waste. EdUnity will be investing in green initiatives for schools.
Every time a letter, SMS or even email is sent, it grows our digital carbon footprint. If every school in the United Kingdom, swapped to EdUnity we could reduce CO2 footprint emissions by 15,000 tons (that is the equivalent to driving 37 million miles). It's a small change to make, but together, we can make a big difference.
At EdUnity we take our environmental obligations seriously. It is why we're committed to working towards being Carbon Negative and providing schools with services that deliver not just on expectations but sustainability as well.
Switching to EdUnity gives schools the key tools they need to start decarbonising aspects of school-life, from cutting down a school's digital carbon footprint to going paperless.
In fact if every school in the United Kingdom switched to EdUnity, it would be the equivalent of taking over 37.2 million cars off the road! In context, according to Government statistics there are just over 37 million cars driven in the United Kingdom.
Together we can make a small difference, but with a significant impact.
In partnership with eduCCate Global, we are helping schools to achieve their Eco Passport Award - a demonstration of schools making choices to improve their sustainable impact on the planet. With EdUnity, schools can achieve 3 of the 7 Eco Passport Goals by, Swapping Digital, introducing a Family Outreach Strategy and using Stay Green Initiatives. Arrange a chat with one of our Solutions Advisors and see how you can achieve your School Eco Passport today.
When we say School App, every app is unique - it is your School's very own app, and this means there are an endless number of ways to customise it and tailor it to your School. Other providers offer things like a 'Parent App' that can be downloaded and used in limited ways - but beware! This is not a School App. If you have a question about this or specific questions, we would encourage you to speak to a Solutions Advisor who can help.
That's up to you! It can be within just a couple of weeks by the time all changes and iterations are finished. We advise schools to get in early, busy periods around April and the Summer Holidays can mean higher demand and may slightly increase waiting times.
Yes, we offer solutions geared more towards Group set-ups. A minimum of 3 schools is required to access this but we are happy and able to work with School Groups.
Our entry level plan, EdUnity Basic, is £595 a year. This includes a School App with basic functionality. If you need your School App to connect with your School's MIS and offer more advanced capabilities, our EdUnity Plus plan is for you at £995 a year. We do not charge any set-up fees or usage quotas, all pricing is flat-rate.
To promote eco-choices among schools and their suppliers, we are pleased to offer schools a 10% discount on subscription plans. To meet the eligibility criteria, schools must be active and registered with eduCCate Global - as well as demonstrate a constructive plan to improve your school's environmental credentials. eduCCate Global is able to advise schools in achieving this.
We accept payments via BACS, Bank Transfer or Debit Card. EdUnity does not accept payments by Cash or Cheque. All subscriptions are billed annually.
No, EdUnity does not offer a free trial. As every app is built specifically to your school it simply isn't possible to. We can however go through demonstrations and explore requirements in detail before there is any commitment.
Yes! It's a small (but super easy) change to make. If every school in the United Kingdom swapped to EdUnity, we could reduce Carbon Footprint Emissions by up to 15,000 tonnes a year - and if every school in Europe did the same it would equate to almost 250,000 tonnes. Together - small differences, can have a big impact.
Simply swapping out SMS and Email can help reduce the digital carbon footprint of your school, without any great effort. To really improve your school's eco credentials you can take advantage of features such as eForms to go paperless or even restaurant ordering to reduce food waste!
In partnership with eduCCate Global, we are constantly reviewing and adding new 'Stay Green' initiatives. These are ways you can use your School's App to make sustainable changes such as going paperless or addressing food waste. These programs are built collaboratively with the eduCCate Global Partner Network.
eduCCate Global offers world-class teacher training materials around Climate Change Education, these are designed to help equip teachers with the knowledge and support they need to be confident in bringing Climate Change Education into the classroom. eduCCate Global further provides access to additional resourcing such as an eLibrary of Climate Change Education Materials, Teacher Events, Partner Resources and a collaborative community of teachers. eduCCate Global has been used by thousands of teachers globally since it's launch across more than 60 countries.
