Sovereign cloud solutions available for schools in six federal states
Published
Schools in six German federal states can now use so-called sovereign cloud solutions. These digital services are intended for storing files and for collaboration between teachers and students.
A sovereign cloud is a storage and work system in which data remains under the control of the user and is protected according to strict rules. The concept plays an important role in Germany because many authorities and educational institutions need to manage sensitive information securely and want to be more independent of foreign providers.
Detailed information about the participating federal states and the launch of the individual offerings was not available in detail at the time of the report. Schools in the states concerned can now use the service. Whether and when other federal states will follow is not yet known.
For parents, students and teachers, the change primarily means that digital learning materials and joint projects can in future be organised via such platforms. Further information is likely to follow from the responsible state authorities in the coming weeks.
