3CX have today (19th March 2020) announced a further offer to support communities in this difficult time. 3CX is offering Educational Institutions a free PRO license of its 3CX communications software, which will include up to 100 web conferencing participants, for one year. This comes as Educational institutions across the globe have been forced to close because of the COVID-19 pandemic. 3CX hopes that this will assist communities, teachers, educators, and students who have been looking for solutions to enable them to continue to deliver education and connect with students and parents.
3CX hopes that this offer will be more than sufficient for schools and universities to continue to deliver students’ education whilst the shutdown because of social distancing is in place.
“The Coronavirus outbreak is going to have an immeasurable impact on schools and universities, in many cases pushing back exam times, graduations and delaying progression of children’s’ education and development. We believe that, with the right tools, schools can minimize the negative consequences of the shutdown and continue to teach students remotely. We’re extending our offer with the hope that we can help schools, teachers, students and parents during this crisis.” – Stefan Walther, CEO, 3CX
