Every school in Sussex will have lightning-fast internet links by 2006, the Government has promised.
Pupils and teachers will be able to use speedy broadband connections to log on to the web in classrooms.
Ministers made the pledge while unveiling a blueprint for rolling out broadband across Britain.
Education Secretary Charles Clarke said: "Broadband is key to enabling and supporting teaching and learning.
"This is why we have said we will get broadband in all our schools by 2006."
Department of Trade and Industry officials are setting up a Regional Aggregation Body (RAB) in the South East to make it is easier to deliver faster and cheaper internet services in rural areas.
The RAB will team up with the South East of England Development Agency to encourage internet providers to increase broadband links in rural communities.
E-commerce Minister Stephen Timms said: "The RABs will deliver better value deals and drive up availability by making it more attractive to telecoms providers to invest capital."
