Why is the price so high for videos licensed for schools?
Educational videos are made especially for use by schools and libraries. As a result, the potential sales are much more limited than products designed for the consumer market.
In order to recover the costs of production and advertising, educational videos have a substantially higher price than consumer items. It’s usual and customary for libraries and schools to pay a higher price for them.
