Every school, university, or any other educational institution is unique in its own way, the uniqueness that extends from its students to the body of professors and the technology it uses. To accommodate these special needs calls for modern and flexible solutions, enhanced capabilities, as well as cloud-based applications like the ones offered by Google Workspace for Education.

Google Workspace pricing: How much does the Workspace for Education subscriptions cost?
Google Workspace for Education first subscription, Fundamentals, is absolutely free and can be obtained by any school or university. To benefit from this free subscription for up to 10.000 Workspace licences, your organisation has to be recognised as an education institution and has to provide nationally or internationally recognised education certificates for primary, secondary or higher education.
All the other three subscriptions are paid Workspace plans and here are the prices you can get with from FOTC:
- 2,2 EUR / year net per student with one free teacher licence per four student licences with Google Workspace for Education Standard
- 2,5 EUR / month net per student with the Teaching and Learning Update
- 3,4 EUR / year net per student with one free tutoring service licence per four student licences with Google Workspace for Education Plus
What is the difference between Google Classroom and Google Workspace?
While Google Workspace is a set of tools dedicated to entrepreneurship and companies, with Google Workspace for Education you will get a suite of products and services tailored for teaching and learning.
With the education licences, your students and teachers can access Google Workspace core services like Gmail, Google Calendar and Classroom, but also more specific apps like Jamboard, Assignments or Tasks. The suite administrators will furthermore decide which services their users can access.
Contrary to Google Workspace paid plans – Google Business Business Starter, Standard Plus or Enterprise – the educational version of Workspace includes a no cost plan in the form of Fundamentals.
