When Ray Kase joined Downingtown Area School District (DASD) as director of technology, his most immediate challenge was clear: Slow and unreliable computers meant less computer time for the 12,000 K-12 students in the district just west of Philadelphia.

Schools, Colleges and Universities in Africa talk about the benefits of the NComputing solution from the perspective of IT, teachers and students.
