Earlier this year Adobe announced new Creative Cloud pricing for K-12 schools, significantly reducing the cost of the suite* from approx. $35 to around just $5 per student per year.
A move that we believe underscores Adobe’s commitment to providing students and teachers, particularly in the African region, with the creative tools they need to nurture creativity and creative problem-solving skills early on.
The K-12 licensing model gives schools access to the entire Creative Cloud suite of apps for a fraction of the cost of standard licensing. This includes 2GB of cloud storage each, as well as the option to log in and install the Creative Cloud application on their home computer or mobile device.
“Making Creative Cloud affordable will have a significant impact on South African schools – allowing more students to engage with these creative tools in a meaningful way” says Jeremy Matthews CEO of Dax Data.
Adobe is invested in gaining an understanding of the impact creative tools like Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro and Experience Design can have on students’ creative development.

Their recent research findings confirmed that many of the barriers to teaching these skills are universal — the biggest of which include limited budgets, access to technology, and time to learn new skills.
As teachers shift their classrooms to incorporate creative projects that build these skills, Adobe is shifting its offerings to provide an affordable, easy, and quick way to succeed.
The full suite of Adobe Creative Cloud apps is available now to K-12 schools through our channel partners, at an MSRP of approx. $4.99 per user license, per year, with a minimum purchase quantity of 500 licenses for a single school, or 2,500 licenses for a school district.
