Promethean World Plc (LSE: PRW), a world leader in the global market for interactive learning technology, today announces that, following a competitive process, it has been selected as the exclusive provider of interactive display systems for 10,000 classrooms to the Miami-Dade County Public Schools district ("Miami-Dade"). Miami-Dade has selected Promethean's ActivBoard Touch system together with its award winning ActivInspire software. Delivery is currently expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter this year. In addition, Promethean will implement an 18-month professional development programme, to assist Miami-Dade educators in uniting their curricula and teaching styles with Promethean's solutions. Miami-Dade is the fourth largest school district in the United States, with a student population of approximately 350,000. It is engaged in a district-wide digital transformation programme and Promethean will supply its systems to 10,000 classrooms currently without interactive display capability. Jim Marshall, CEO of Promethean, said: "We are delighted to have been selected by Miami-Dade and are proud to work with them to help transform learning in their classrooms. We have the opportunity to empower Miami-Dade teachers with a new way to motivate and engage students through collaborative digital learning activities in the classroom and we are excited by this. "The Miami-Dade award is significant, both because it is one of the largest classroom implementations of interactive display systems in our history and because it may be one of the signs that the pressures on education technology budgets in the US are beginning to ease. It does not lead us to alter our current view of our financial prospects for this year, and we expect the marketplace to remain tough, but we do take it as a very positive endorsement of the quality of Promethean's solutions."
