1. Reduced costs for textbooks and other materials: With a one-to-one program, students have access to digital resources and educational materials, which can significantly reduce the cost of purchasing and replacing physical textbooks.
2. Increased funding opportunities: Schools with a one-to-one program may be eligible for grants and funding opportunities that support digital learning.
3. Reduced costs for printing: A one-to-one program can lead to a reduction in the cost of printing, as more resources and materials are available digitally.
4. Improved efficiency: With a one-to-one program, teachers can use digital tools to create, share, and grade assignments, which can save time and resources.
5. Reduced costs for technology support: With students having their own devices, schools may see a reduction in costs for technical support, as students are responsible for maintaining and troubleshooting their own devices.
6. Cost savings from not having to purchase computer labs and other equipment: schools don’t have to purchase or maintain computer labs or other technology infrastructure.
7. Long-term savings: Initially, it may be costly for schools to implement a one-to-one program, but the long-term savings on textbooks, printing, and other materials can be substantial.

It is worth noting that the cost can vary widely depending on the type of device and program that a school chooses, as well as the school’s location, size, and needs.
