Acer, Microsoft lead tester program of Windows 11 SE for education in PH

Acer and Microsoft in collaboration with the OB Montessori school are piloting the new edition of Windows that is designed for education and runs on web-first devices: the Windows 11 SE.

Acer Philippines—under its Acer Academy’s Tester Program—has invited the OB Montessori students and teachers to experience learning with the help of Acer laptops running Windows 11 SE.

Throughout the five-week tester program, Acer and Microsoft will demonstrate how Windows 11 SE-powered laptops can assist students and teachers in the performance of hybrid learning. After the course is finished, the school will provide feedback on their experience as well as their recommendations for improvement.

Windows 11 SE provides a ‘simplified, secure, and curated experience’ optimized to run essential education apps. School IT Administrators can also do remote management of these systems via Microsoft Intune for Education, while ensuring student privacy as a priority.

“Windows 11 SE was built with students and teachers in mind and is meant to provide an environment that’s free from distraction so it’s perfect for todays hybrid and flexible learning environment,” said Acer & Microsoft Champ Cuki Pendor.

The Philippines is among the first countries in Southeast Asia to try out Windows 11 SE, and the OB Montessori being one of the first members of the Acer Academy.
