The 9.7-inch device - the same size as the traditional iPad - will cost $299 for schools and $329 for consumers.

Yesterday, Apple held its education event at Lane Tech high school in Chicago, Illinois, and announced the launch of a new tablet, the educational 9.7-inch iPad (2018) with support for Apple Pencil. From the new iPad 9.7 with Apple Pencil support to some free 200GB iCloud storage for students.

Apple's new entry-level iPad goes on sale today and costs £319, although the company will offer a discount on the tablet and Pencil for schools, according to the London Evening Standard. All these profiles can be assigned and corralled using the Apple School Manager, which allows Apple ID to be created in bulk and divvied out to school pupils in minutes.

Apple made up just 17 percent of the K-12 U.S. educational market in the third quarter, according to data from Futuresource Consulting.

The new iPad is an updated version of the lowest end iPad in Apple's lineup.

Those rumours of a new, cheaper, education-aimed Apple iPad rumours were true. It has price of INR 28000 for the 32GB with Wi-Fi model and INR 38600 for the 32GB Wi-Fi + Cellular model. Gone is the old A9, and in its place is the A10 Fusion.

It is the first non-Pro model to include Apple Pencil support, making all available iPad models Apple Pencil ready.

As noted by Laptop Mag, the price for the iPad for schools is the same as that of the Asus Chromebook C213SA, and the Asus Chromebook C202SA is still cheaper at $223.10. The new iPad will be used to bring educational augmented reality apps into the classroom.

Apple also revealed a series of apps for the classroom, such as Schoolwork, and a progress tool called Classroom that allows users to see what other teachers are working on in the classroom.
