Vocational
+Higher Secondary School Irimpanam</p>
+
+<p>The following report is based on information provided to us by the
+school's staff.</p>
+
+<div class="edu-cases">
+
+<h3>Location</h3>
+
+<p>The school is located in Irimpanam, an area close to the city of
+Tripunithura, in the Ernakulam district of the
+<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerala#Education"> State of
+Kerala</a>, India.</p>
+
+<h3>About</h3>
+
+<p>Founded in 1940, the <span class="removed"><del><strong><a
href="http://vhssirimpanam.org/">Vocational</strong></del></span> <span
class="inserted"><ins><em><!--a
href="http://vhssirimpanam.org/"-->Vocational</em></ins></span>
+Higher Secondary School <span
class="removed"><del><strong>Irimpanam</a></strong></del></span> <span
class="inserted"><ins><em>Irimpanam<!--/a--></em></ins></span> is a
privately owned school aided
+by the State. It offers instruction from Upper Primary to High School
+levels (grades 5 to 7 and 8 to 10 respectively). Nearly 1,000 students
+from 10 to 15 years old attend the school.</p>
+
+<h3>Motivation</h3>
+
+<p>Our institution took special interest in promoting the main aspects
+of the philosophy of the GNU Project, such as the freedom to share
+knowledge and the freedom to cooperate with our community by
+contributing improvements to computer programs. This awareness about
+Swathanthra Software <a href="#swathanthra">(1)</a> was largely
the
+result of what we learned at the meetings organized by the
+<a href="http://www.ilug-cochin.org/"> Indian Libre User Group
+(ILUG-Cochin)</a> in the nearby city of Kochi. Attending those meetings
+also helped us to work in close connection with the Free Software
+community.</p>
+
+<h3>How We Did It</h3>
+
+<p>The migration to Free Software in our school was the result of a
+project designed and established by the Government of Kerala, called
+<a href="https://www.itschool.gov.in/">address@hidden</a>. The
project,
+started in 2001, involved several thousand schools in Kerala and in 2006
+it switched completely to Free Software.</p>

+
+</div> <!-- style="width: 300px; height: 260px..." -->
+
+<p>Training courses for teachers were implemented by the government to
+teach us the basics of the new Free Operating System and how to
+install it. The new system was customized for the first time by
+<a href="http://space-kerala.org/node/10/">SPACE</a>, an agency
based in
+Kerala that promotes the use of Free Software in the private and public
+sectors. SPACE, as well as local Swathanthra Software users groups,
+played a fundamental role during the process by providing constant
+support to teachers. One of the workshops organized by SPACE helped us
+to build the website of our school using Free Software.</p>
+
+<p>Training was not limited to software, it also included teaching the
+basics of hardware maintenance to teachers and students. In our school,
+10 years old students know how to assemble a PC.</p>
+
+<p>The use of Free programs in the classroom was facilitated by the
+implementation of training modules aimed at instructing teachers on the
+use of specific programs for teaching various subjects.
+For example, there was a training module for teachers of Mathematics on
+how to use <a href="http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Dr._geo">Dr
Geo</a>
+for teaching geometry, another one for teachers of Chemistry on how to
+draw organic molecules using
+<a href="http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Chemtool">Chemtool</a>, and
+many others.</p>
+
+<p>Other training activities were conducted jointly by the school and
+ILUG-Cochin to teach us the use of different Free Software applications
+such as Blender, Inkscape, and the command line interface.</p>
+
+<p>The school has also opened an
+<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat">IRC</a>
+channel where students can ask questions about issues they may
encounter.</p>
+
+<h3>Commitment to Free Software</h3>
+
+<p>At the beginning the new system was used on a dual-boot basis,
+because we teachers were not familiar with Free Software, but we
+soon got acquainted with it to a great extent. At present, no
+proprietary systems are installed in any of our computers and no
+proprietary programs are being used. Only Free Software is being used in
+the classroom and in the administration offices.</p>
+
+<p>We use a wide range of free programs in the classroom, such as
+<a href= "http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/GIMP/">GIMP</a>,
+<a href= "http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/TuxPaint">Tux Paint</a>,
+<a href="http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Audacity">Audacity</a>,
+<a href="http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/GPeriodic">GPeriodic</a> and
+<a href="http://www.libreoffice.org/">LibreOffice</a>,
+but there are many others.</p>
+
+<p>Students are also introduced to the programming language Python as
+from grade 8 (13 years old).</p>

student
+pronounce the name of the Adeenia flower in Malayalam.</p>
+
+</div> <!-- style="width: 320px; height: 280px..." -->
+
+<h3>Results</h3>
+
+<p>Education in the State of Kerala has become "IT-enabled", meaning
+that students are getting first hand technology knowledge while learning
+regular curriculum subjects outside the IT Lab. This is possible due to
+the large number of high quality educational applications available in
+GNU/Linux.</p>
+
+<p>The transparency and the cooperative method of Free Software helped
+students and teachers to dive deep into technology and made them capable
+of contributing to the community in various ways. One important
+contribution was the localization of the interface of
+<a href="/education/edu-software-tuxpaint.html">Tux Paint</a> in
+Malayalam, our mother tongue.</p>
+
+<p>Another contribution was the addition of new stamps in TuxPaint.
Native
+flowers were photographed and the pictures edited by 6th and 7th grade
students
+using the image editing program GIMP. The resulting images were then
integrated
+in TuxPaint with the name of the flowers written in Malayalam. As a plus,
+students recorded with their own voices the name of the flowers, so when the
+user selects one of the stamps, she will hear the name of the flower in
+Malayalam. A video was recorded to illustrate how it works and how the
activity
+was done.</p>

+
+<p>Both activities were promoted by Swathanthra Software Koottayma of
+VHSS Irimpanam <a href="http://sskvhssirimpanam.wordpress.com/">
+(SSK VHSS Irimpanam)</a>, a Free Software group of teachers and students
+based on the school. Its aim is to build awareness on the philosophy of
+Free Software and to introduce new applications in GNU/Linux as a way of
+contributing to the community. The group organizes monthly meetings and
+it performs various kinds of activities to encourage its members to
+experiment and explore Free Software so as to put into practice the
+freedoms that it grants.</p>
+
+<p>As a way of keeping in touch and sharing experiences with other
+schools and with the Free Software community, teachers and students each
+year participate in events such as the National Free Software Conference
+and the Cyber Safe Day.</p>
+
+</div> <!-- class="edu-cases" -->
+
+<p>The commitment and the collaboration of teachers, students and local
+groups was essential to the success of this large scale government
+project.</p>
