GARNET facilitates education services in members institutions as a key strategic theme geared towards providing value addition to the education sector. In this respect, the role of GARNET will be to fund-raise through grant proposals to support capacity building and local educational content development programmes for universities, tertiary institutions and schools. GARNET supports the deployment of educational roaming service (eduroam). This service is based on the most secure encryption and authentication standards in existence today and operates on the basis of trust relationships between members of the Global Research and Education Community. Its security by far exceeds typical commercial hotspots.
