- Computers for Schools '93
- -------------------------
-
- The following is an extract from a letter to Headteachers
- from T P Leahy of Tesco Stores plc.
-
-
- 'Following the tremendous success of the "Computers for
- Schools" initiative last year, Tesco has decided to run the
- scheme again.
-
- In 1992 schools nationwide received more than 13,000 items
- of equipment, including over 3,000 computers, through the
- scheme.
-
- This year the promotion is even longer, running for twelve
- weeks, which will enable your school to collect even more
- vouchers, and so obtain more equipment than last year.
-
- From Monday 1st March until Sunday 23rd May, Tesco customers
- will receive one "Computer Voucher" for every #25 spent in
- any Tesco store. These vouchers can be exchanged for
- computers and software, when collected by individual
- schools.
-
- The range of computer hardware has been widened without
- increasing the cost to schools in numbers of vouchers
- required and, this year, includes selected special needs
- equipment. Acorn is again the exclusive supplier for this
- scheme.
-
- Enclosed ...'
-
-
- Catalogues are being distributed to 12,000+ schools as I
- write.
-
-
- The general helpline for "Computers for Schools" is
- 071 580 9370. Schools that want a pack, but haven't received
- one, by, say, the end of the week, should ring that number.
-
- Watch out for the Press and TV adverts beginning at the end
- of this month.
