    Sure. I think so because the qualification criteria is outlined here

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/education/deploy/office-365-education-self-sign-up

    After the school qualifies, all active full-time or part-time students, faculty, and staff are eligible and can get the plan directly from Microsoft at Office 365 Education if they meet all three of the following requirements:

    1. They have a school-specific email address provided by the school (for example, sara@contoso.edu) that can receive external email.
    2. They are of legal age to sign up for an online offer individually (13 years old).
    3. They have Internet access.

    There is no specification of the type of device. This is consistent with the business plans which allows this mix.

    Best, Chris

We have Office A1 plus for faculty and students. The plus part is the inclusion of Office 365.

I have the on-prem deployment setup of Office 365 to all domain computers so it ties in with the staff and students licence to install Office 365 to their own computers. On a side note, the install is not as you would for 2019 and it is locked into the users 365 accounts when they sign into a computes and yes they can hot desk. I have up to 50 pupils using the IT suite computers with no issues. Please note that the deployment of Office 365 does take a bit of setting up to get it right and can be totally controlled from GPO. Been using it this way for 3 years now.
