What Schools Need to Consider for 2025

While technology remains a critical part of operations and learning, the expectations placed on IT staff have expanded in ways that warrant closer examination. Technology decisions often begin with IT, but involving broader educational decision makers (the ones these systems are designed to support) ensures schools get the most out of their tech.

In honour of World Teachers’ Day on October 25th, this blog celebrates the incredible dedication and influence of educators. This year’s theme, “Valuing teachers’ voices: towards a new social contract for education,” highlights the vital role teachers play in shaping the future. Centorrino Technologies reflects on the profound impact teachers have on students’ lives, inspiring curiosity, fostering growth, and overcoming challenges. The blog encourages participation in the Hats Off to Teachers campaign as a gesture of gratitude for the relentless commitment teachers bring to their classrooms and communities every day.

As schools near the end of the academic year, they face numerous challenges, including managing student assessments, system updates, and staff transitions. For IT and Business Managers, strategic long-term planning—especially in procurement—is essential to reduce stress and ensure smooth operations. Centorrino Technologies recommends early planning with our Technology Blueprint, a roadmap that guides schools over 12 to 36 months. By starting early and using a structured plan, schools can reduce stress, manage resources effectively, and ensure a smooth transition.
