Microsoft has begun a trial of a new subscription service for schools, which it says will give users of its software increased flexibility.
Under the terms of the company's Subscription Enrolment Schools Pilot (SESP) teachers will be able to use products outside the classroom without additional payments.
The government's technology agency, Becta, has given its support to the initiative and hopes it will provide "improved opportunities to achieve greater value for money".
Stephen Crowne, the agency's chief executive, says by signing up to SESP schools will find it easier "to use a mix of proprietary and open source products as they see fit".
Some of Microsoft's products are so widely used that staff would be at a disadvantage if they could not use them.
IT training and computer courses can help people master the most popular software used in business today and can help increase their employability.
