DigitalPakt Schule 2019 bis 2024; Übermittlung des Verwendungsnachweises für die digitale Bildungsinfrastruktur an bayerischen Schulen

Schools that have applied for funding for the expansion of the digital education infrastructure (dBIR) can submit the proof of use to the responsible government.

Purpose

The purpose of the funding is to establish learning-friendly and resilient, interoperable digital technical educational infrastructures at Bavarian schools and to optimize existing structures.

Object

In order to create optimal conditions for digital learning and teaching, the funding can be used to establish or improve the digital school building network (including WLAN infrastructure), establish or further develop the digital teaching and learning infrastructures (e.g. educational communication and work platforms) and procure display and interaction devices (e.g. document cameras, projectors), digital work equipment (e.g. workstation computers, diagnostic and measuring devices) and, to a certain extent, school-related mobile devices (laptops, notebooks, tablets).

Recipients of funding

The recipients of the funding are the municipal school authorities of public schools and the authorities of state-approved and recognized alternative schools in Bavaria.

Eligible costs

The following are eligible for funding

• Expenditure on IT equipment,
• Rental, hire-purchase and leasing expenses for IT equipment,
• structural measures for the wired network connection of classrooms and for the installation and commissioning of procured equipment and
• accompanying investment measures if there is a direct and necessary connection with the above-mentioned investment measures.

Type and amount

The grant is provided as a non-repayable subsidy (project funding) in the form of pro rata financing.

The maximum funding rate is 90 percent of the eligible expenditure. The maximum amount of state funding for the entire term of the DigitalPakt Schule 2019 to 2024 is defined for each school expenditure provider (= maximum amount of state funding annex to the dBIR) (see "Legal basis").

In order to receive funding for school investment measures, a school's own media concept is required, which contains all of a school's media education measures (technical-pedagogical deployment concept, further training planning, equipment plan). In addition, the schools update their data once a quarter in the survey on IT equipment in Bavarian schools conducted by the Akademie für Lehrerfortbildung und Personalführung Dillingen (ALP).
