School license deactivation warning

Question

Dear Concerned Person,

I am a teacher employed by the government in Turkey. Turkish National Ministry of Education's IT Department has signed an agreement with your company that allows us to use Office 365 on our 26 SmartBoards in our classrooms; I believe this arrangement has been in place for nearly 8 years. We use Office programs during lectures and also teach our students how to use them in our computer classes. This situation affects not only my school but also over a thousand schools in my city. I don't know if it's valid for the other 80 cities, if so that means the whole country...

The problem is, we are currently receiving a warning when opening an Office program, stating, "Your school license will be deactivated soon (29th of September)." My question is whether there will be a new agreement allowing us to continue using Office 365 or if we will need to switch to LibreOffice and retrain the students. Is there a way to renew our licenses?

Thank you for your assistance.

Sincerely,
