Apple has had a long history of being involved in education, with actual support at the district level as well as hefty discounts for schools and college students as well. My university had an Apple section in the bookstore with an attractive pricing list (well, as attractive as a $2,400 Mac could be in the 1980s) The long-term view was that Apple equipment in schools translated to well trained customers when they hit the real world.
