Challenges Before Engaging with KGM AVS
Before partnering with KGM AVS, Hartwell Primary School faced challenges sourcing education-focused technology solutions and ongoing support. The absence of dedicated support resources made it challenging for the school to implement technology-driven teaching methodologies effectively.
Solution Offered by KGM AVS
