Microsoft Teams for Education

Microsoft Teams for Education is a special edition of Microsoft Teams designed specifically to cover education scenarios for all ages. It is the ideal tool for remote learning, but can also be used as a complement to in-person classes, where teachers and students can get connected not only in the classroom but from anywhere.

This edition uses the same Microsoft Teams application as the enterprise edition, but each user must have an education license to get access to the dedicated education features. You can learn more about the Education plans at the following link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/academic/compare-office-365-education-plans.

When compared with the enterprise version, the Education version has different user profiles, a different user interface that is enabled by default, and a special application that can be used for assignments, as you will see in the following subsections.
