Hi there,
I hope you are well. Previously, before the changes to Minecraft Education for Commercial, I was paying a small fee anually to have Minecraft as an option for the children that I work with in my therapy room as a counsellor, often with ADHD and autistic children.

I have had to cancel my subscription now the charges have done up so much as I cannot afford to keep it going as it isn't a regular thing that my clients pick to use Minecraft.

It is one of many games we can connect with them on.

Is there a different way of me having Minecraft in my therapy room that might be more cost effective, and I am missing it?

Thanks, Helen Neale

  Hey there Helen!

  Thanks so much for your passion and interest in Minecraft Education and so sorry to hear the price increase affected your workflow how it did. 

  Unfortunately there are no other more cost-effective options for Commercial purchases at the moment, but you could always try the demo https://edusupport.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/360047116432-Try-Minecraft-Education-for-free here for free! While it is extremely limited in scope, it could be worth getting that little bit of taste of Minecraft Education every now and then for no cost.
