Microsoft are doing an education special on the RT At 294.00 for the basic model, it is a very good buy in my opinion, considering Office is included. You can attach a standard keyboard and mouse through the USB port , Microsoft wedge mouse runs well (Bluetooth). I find a mouse a good choice when using Word. The upgrade to Windows 8.1 went well took a bit of time.

To my knowledge most schools were sent a brochure. Harvey Normans and Noel Leeming have a Commercial manager who deals with the purchase. You need verification which is sent to Microsoft Google and I think you will find it. Contact your administration at your school or instituition
GBristow: As I always ask: what do you want it to do? Write down everything you can think of and check it off against RT. It's clearly better than an iPad, but I wouldn't get one because I would want a full OS on my laptop.
I disagree with this wholeheartedly.
I got an RT as my GF took my Ipad and wont give it back, I thought I'll get her a tablet and saw the RT had come down in price.
I got it, but guess what? I still don't have my Ipad back.
I hate the interface, it isn't real windows but it isn't any better either.

I hate no built in 3 or 4G.
