eduSTAR.NTP Round 4 Cycle 4
This has been an interesting round of teacher notebooks as the original date last year was supposed to be November last year, but it got pushed back and back and back and back to the point where the end of the round ended up being 28th May this year. We have found out that unlike previous rounds, these were not done by Macquarie Finance but by the Department of Education themselves. Slight shamble would be sugar coating it. Every previous round there have been "Buy backs" because with these it has been like a car lease and a residual... After x amount of years you are offered to 'buy back' your used laptop for a set residual.
They still after five weeks have not come back with any information as to if there will be a buy back this round or whether we will be sending them back. They've only been boxed up and sitting in the Business Manager's office for the past two months (close to give or take a couple of weeks).
The disorganisation in the DEECD must be absolutely bizarre.
