As a leading open source company, SUSE supports schools, higher learning institutions and the academic community in getting free access to our extensive experience and knowledge.
Many IT-students still get trained in software stacks that are not the highest in demand by the labor market. In many cases IT-infrastructure classes are still dominated by proprietary software, but the dominating IT-infrastructure "in real life" nowadays is open source technology.
As SUSE delivers enterprise open source technology many schools have asked SUSE to come with a academic program. Now we are able to explain you most bits and bites of how we believe we can color schools and students green!

Recap – where we’re coming from
1. For several years the SUSE Academic & School market declined
2. The (SUSE) Academic program consisted of 3 programs:
- ALA & SLA which are “Novell” programs
- VLA-Education
3. From April 1st 2015: “one” platform for SUSE Academic: VLA based:
VLA-Education, ALA/SLA no longer available to New SUSE
Academic/School customers. But Renewal via ALA/SLA can still occur.
