Edtech charity LGfL is celebrating having won for the second year running Supplier of Year: Not for Profit in the Education Resources Awards (ERA). The judges selected LGfL as the winner in recognition of its social mission to advance education through digital innovation and its delivery of circa £9M in savings and benefits to schools per annum. One of LGfL’s most notable initiatives is its Pledge 2020 project to supercharge connectivity across its 3000-strong consortium of UK member schools by the end of 2020, enabling them to use cloud computing, 4K streaming and virtual reality in the classroom.
