德国数字协会副主席阿希姆·伯格表示，“智能学校”的概念涉及到数字学习材料以及教师再培训的教学方案，而不仅仅是“主动为学校配备电脑、笔记本电脑或平板电脑”。
In light of the pact put forward by German Ministry of Education and Research, the ministry will invest about five billion euros (5.35 billion dollars) into around 40,000 schools in Germany for digital equipment within the next five years. Meanwhile, federal states will be responsible for related new teaching plans and teachers’ retraining.
根据德国教育与研究部提出的公约，该部将会向德国4万左右所学校投入五十亿欧元（53.35亿美元），用于未来五年的数字设备。同时，联邦国家将会负责相关的新的教学方案和教师再培训。
