UQSchoolsNet will establish an online community of schools that can connect at high speed to each other and to The University of Queensland, allowing them to collaboratively share content and services. This will reduce costs, enable the provision of innovative new services, and allow enhanced access to educational content.

UQSchoolsNet is provided and supported by UQconnect, the University's not for profit education ISP, on behalf of The University of Queensland.

As a leading Australian educational institution with the resources to match, UQ is well placed to help Queensland schools with a range of IT services via UQconnect.

Access to these resources puts UQconnect in a unique position to offer an ‘education advantage’.

At launch, UQSchoolsNet offers three services: Access Service, Collaboration Service and Internet Service.
