Education Max - price reduction consultation

We’re consulting on reducing the price of our most popular education plan for New Zealand schools – ‘Education Max’ (Bitstream 3a; 1000/1000 with 2.5/2.5 CIR). 

Education Max has been eligible for CPI increases over the past 2 years. As a result, its price has increased from $120 per month in 2019 to $124.87 per month from the most recent CPI change that was effective on 15 October 2021.

A price reduction will help benefit schools and kura that receive this service from you.

 

We seek your feedback

To help benefit schools and kura, we seek your feedback on the following:

  • reducing the price of Education Max to $120 per month;
  • back-dating this reduced price from 15 October 2021 (when the most recent CPI change occurred). We will provide you a credit note(s) for this;
  • not applying CPI adjustments to the reduced price of $120 per month until 31 December 2023.  After this date, we may change the price for subsequent CPI increases. 

The change will apply to standard installations as well as the recurring charge. 

 

When will the proposed change occur

Subject to feedback received, we propose to make this change from 17 March 2022. We will confirm this date with a notice of change after consultation is completed.  

 

Next steps

Should you have any questions or feedback on this change, please contact Darren Kelly or your account team before 13 December 2021.
