Joe Y replied to Deborah Dubb's discussion Apple Configurator"Hi Amy,
I know Apple recently added more countries to VPP for businesses http://www.apple.com/business/vpp/ (click link and scroll down). I'm guessing that if they now have VPP for business in the UK they should have it for education too.…"
