Swore. The Department is auctioning off 200 touch pads

The auction will end on April 5 at 4:05 p.m. A batch of 200 digital tablets is on sale on the website Now store by the Department of Jura, in the form of auctions. These are iPads dating from 2014, stamped “Jura General Council”. That year, the Department headed by Christophe Perny had decided to equip each student with 6e of a tablet.

In 2014, the 6e could take the tablet home

At the time, the General Council provided for an envelope of 9.7 million euros over 5 years to equip secondary school students in the Jura. In 2014, 3,100 students from 6e had benefited from it. “Thanks to this equipment, the students really enter the 21ste century,” said Christophe Perny. It was planned that each student could take the tablet home and keep it at the end of the four years of college. Christophe Perny’s mandate ended the following year, in 2015, with the election of Clément Pernot as head of the Department.

In June 2015, the local authority informed the headteachers that the process would not be continued. The college students had to return their equipment. The tablets, back in college, had been reassigned to mobile classrooms. It is the establishments that organize themselves for their use.

Colleges now have 4,000 tablets

Today, the Jura colleges are still equipped with touch pads in the form of mobile classes. “The Department equips the colleges with 4,000 tablets, specifies the office of the president. These tablets are distributed to all colleges in proportion to the number of students in the form of mobile classes. This principle allows access to this tool to all middle school students in year 6e at the 3rd. They are regularly renewed. The Department is gradually putting on sale the old reformed tablets (out of service or outdated that can no longer be updated) by decision of the permanent commission. The community claims to spend around 300,000 euros each year on these tablets.
