I work for an online education company, where we use code for assignments and tasks. We currently use google colab and are battling to keep track of version control etc. Students keep asking why we don't share code with them in github. We need to get a github account and set it all up but I am not sure which plan our company should use. We have hundreds of students. Do they connect using their individual accounts? I don't know whether to suggest a free business account of an enterprise account for the purpose of our business model.

As I understand your point, you should create an organization for your company and all students should have their own accounts(You can create new org here). Then you can invite all students as your org member, but it would be stuck with you to add hundred of students. Then you can make the repository public and share its link with students. When you create an org, they provide detailed guidelines, you just need to follow it.
