The National Party says it would invest $150 million over three years on high-speed broadband to schools.

The money is part of $1.5 billion the party has said it would commit to a fibre-to-the-home network connecting 75% of New Zealanders.

Party leader John Key says the investment would improve schools' internal networks and enable them to use new teaching and learning methods.
