Well, Apple are dishing out the favors to app developers today, earlier they adapted the way iAd works, allowing developers to sell their apps directly from within an iAd and now they have updated their developer app sale agreement, giving developers the factility to offer their apps with 50% discount to educational institutions.
The idea behind it is to allow educational institutions to preload the same apps across numerous iOS devices to be distributed to students and faculty, while giving developers an incentive to offer their apps at a discount.
The discount only applies in bulk downloads of twenty or more apps purchased at once. If you’re a developer, it’s easy enough to sign up: just agree to the new paperwork and tick the box next to “Discount for Educational Institutions"
