An intervention of 2.500 € is granted for each of the establishments of the ordinary or specialized secondary schools located in Wallonia, by tranche of 500 pupils, in order to allow the acquisition of the minimal material adequate for the capture and the transmission of remote courses. This plan concerns 465 schools.

A grant of 15,000 euros will be given to each certified digital public space (EPN) to " acquire modern equipment that better meets the requirements of the evolving uses of the public most affected by the digital divide.
