    If your buying a few of them you will prob have to buy within the EU to avoid the need for duty/taxes to be paid
    Most are shipped from China, so a UK seller on ebay may be a good choice.

    A few threads worth reviewing:

    You can buy the Eken w70, which is good for schools, because you can install windows 8, android and Linux on it.

    I don't know if there is a European retailer for them though.

    EDIT: - they may get them back in stock here, but i don't know their price. http://www.futeko.com/products/TAB024.php

    They come with windows 8 and Android 4.04 installed already.

    This video says it's the A70, but it's not.

    They can be bought for around €59 each. If you are buying in bulk, obviously cheaper.

    You can submit a price request from eken themselves - HERE

    If it doesn't cost too much extra, i'd go for the extra 1GB version with at least 8GB storage. (Called the Eken w70pro)

    Curious to find out how students/teachers will use them? Seems like your school is on the ball technology wise.
