+<div class="center">
+<h3>What Does Free Software Have To Do With Education?</h3>
+</div>
-<p>
-More and more students are considering whether a university teaches computer
-science and software development using Free Software when
-deciding where they will study. Free Software means that students are
-free to study how the programs they use work and to learn how to adapt them for
-their own needs. Learning about Free Software can also help in studying
-software development ethics and professional practice. If you know of a
-Free-Software-oriented university then email
-<a href="mailto:address@hidden";>address@hidden</a> to tell us about it
-so we can list it here.
-</p>
-
-<h2>Is Your School Committed To Free Software?</h2>
-
-<p>
-Free Horizon Montessori in Arvada, Colorado has 63 GNU/Linux user systems,
-plus 6 GNU/Linux servers. Their favorite apps are Ktouch, TuxTyping, and
-Tuxmath.
-</p>
-<p>
-An elementary school in Ehlerange, in the Sanem commune of Luxembourg, has a
-classroom of 28 kids (6-8 years old) with 8 computers running GNU/Linux.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-The ECEN (Escuela Cristiana Evangélica de Neuquén) is a
Christian school
-located in the capital city of Neuquen, in the Argentine Patagonia region.
-The school has migrated all 40 student work stations as well as desktops in
the school
-library and office to the GNU operating system.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-If your school is committed to Free Software then we want to hear from you so
-that we can list it here. Has your school migrated to GNU/Linux, or has your
-school adopted the firm policy of rejecting proprietary software? If so,
-contact
-<a href="mailto:address@hidden";><address@hidden></a>
-to let us know.
-</p>
-
-<h2>Free Software in Education</h2>
-
-<p>
-<a href="/philosophy/free-sw.html">Free Software</a> can be a valuable
-resource in education. Not only can it be technically or
-pedagogically superior to proprietary alternatives, but it can also
-promote the values of the GNU project in the schools:
-</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li>Freedom</li>
-<li>Cooperation</li>
-</ul>
+<p>Software freedom has an especially important role in education.
+Educational institutions of all levels should use and teach Free
+Software because it is the only software that allows them to accomplish
+their essential missions: to disseminate human knowledge and to prepare
+students to be good members of their community. The source code and the
+methods of Free Software are part of human knowledge. On the contrary,
+proprietary software is secret, restricted knowledge, which is the
+opposite of the mission of educational institutions. Free Software
+supports education, proprietary software forbids education.</p>
+
+<p>Free Software is not just a technical question; it is an ethical,
+social, and political question. It is a question of the human rights
+that the users of software ought to have. Freedom and cooperation are
+essential values of Free Software. The GNU System implements these
+values and the principle of sharing, since sharing is good and
+beneficial to human progress.</p>
+
+<p>To learn more, see the
+<a href=" /philosophy/free-sw.html">Free Software definition</a>
+and our article on
+<a href=" /philosophy/shouldbefree.html">why software should be free</a>
+(as in freedom).</p>

+<h2>The Basics</h2>

+<p>In this six-minutes video

+<p>The GNU Project was
+<a href=" /gnu/initial-announcement.html">launched</a> in 1983 by
+Richard Stallman to develop a Free Libre operating system: the GNU
+operating system. As a result, today it is possible for anyone to use a
+computer in freedom.</p>
-<p>
-Today, many students and schools don't even know about Free Software
-or the great advantages it brings. At the same time, software
-knowledgeability is required for more and more tasks, and Free
-Software has a distinct advantage in this field. If you are one of
-those kept in the dark until now, please read some of the
-informational material we've put together here.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Here is some information we have collected about the relationship
-between the GNU project and education (you can see more relationships
-by reading the <a href="/gnu/thegnuproject.html">history of the GNU
-project</a>). Please send your comments and suggestions about this
-information to GNU & Education mailing list
-<a href="mailto:address@hidden";><address@hidden></a>.
-</p>
-
-<h3 id="why">Why?</h3>
-
-<p>
-We're working closely with a new group, Free Software in Education, to produce
-these introductions. If you are not completely familiar with free software,
-learn why it's right for you!
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Each distributable, easily chewable material, such as the Students
-bulletin posting, leads to an online portal, tailored to the
-particular group, at which the interested can find out more about what
-free software means, learn how to use it, and of course get it.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-A GNU idea, the Free Universal Encyclopedia and Learning Resource,
-became <a href="http://www.wikipedia.org";>Wikipedia</a>. Learn
-about <a href="/encyclopedia/free-encyclopedia.html">why we need such
-a resource, and why you should care about it</a>.

-should this go? -->
-
-<h3 id="how">How?</h3>
-
-<p>
-Even though the education demographic is relatively tech-savvy, it
-still needs help to learn free operating systems such as GNU.
-Students, teachers, and administrators have some tools at their
-disposal with which to learn.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Our advice is to simply install a free operating system, or find an
-existing installation, and learn how to use it simply by using it.

+Escuela Cristiana Evangélica de Neuquén (ECEN)</p>
+
+
+<p>The following information was extracted from a report submitted to us
+by ECEN Elementary Teacher Debora Badilla Huento. Her commitment played
+a key role in raising Free Software awareness and ultimately getting
+the school to migrate.</p>
+
+<div class="edu-cases">
+
+<h3>Location</h3>
+
+<p>City of Neuquén, capital of the
+<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuquen_Province";>
+Province of Neuquén</a>, in the Argentine Patagonia Region.</p>
+
+<h3>About</h3>
+
+<p>We are a private Christian school fulfilling state education from
+pre-elementary to high school levels.</p>
+
+<p>In Argentina, each province develops its own educational policy. In
+the case of the province of Neuquén, teaching computer science at
+elementary schools is not obligatory. Actually, computer science is an
+extracurricular subject.</p>
+
+<h3>Motivation</h3>
+
+<p>Our school advocates the ideals of solidarity, honesty, excellence in
+education, the observance of law, the constant search for truth, justice
+and love in all daily activities. Using and teaching proprietary
+software was in contrast with these values. School directors and
+teachers were also overwhelmed by software license management and by the
+many restrictions that the terms of those licenses imposed on the
+school.</p>
+
+<p>Educational quality and long term goals were also taken into account
+during the decision process. It is our understanding that training
+students on how to use a specific brand of software is far from the
+mission of a school.</p>
+
+<h3>How We Did It</h3>
+
+<p>The whole process lasted four years: we started in 2006 with all our
+work stations using proprietary software and concluded in 2010 with full
+free operating systems and programs in all the school's computers,
+including the administration offices and the library.</p>
+
+<p>The plan consisted mainly of several measures aimed at raising
+awareness about the philosophical, ethical and socio-political
+implications of the use of technology. This fundamental aspect was
+maintained and underlined during the whole process and put into practice
+by the gradual substitution of existing proprietary programs with Free
+Libre Software programs.</p>
+
+<p>During the first year we introduced some theoretical courses, namely
+"Computer Science History" and "Introduction to Computer Architecture".
+We also covered the legal aspects of software such as the various types
+of licenses, and we talked about the commitment of Free Software users
+and developers to the community.</p>
+
+<p>Training courses were given to high school level teachers in the IT
+and all other areas, to teachers of the elementary level, to the Board
+of Directors and administration staff, and to the librarian.</p>
+
+<p>The following human resources were employed to carry out the
+migration: </p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>1 Computer Science teacher for the pre-elementary and elementary
+ levels. This teacher is also in charge of maintaining the computers
+ in the classroom and qualifying other teachers and school staff in the
+ use of the operating system.</li>
+ <li>5 Computer Science teachers for the high school Level.</li>
+ <li>1 PC and network technician in charge of repairing the
computers
+ of the high school level.</li>
+ <li>1 Free Software programmer hired to write the
Administrative
+ Management System.</li>
+ <li>1 IT Professor hired to qualify the school staff.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Migration costs were affordable and well within the school's
+budget:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>PC Repairs: In 2006, ECEN hired a computer technician who
was
+ provided with Free Software documentation and a DVD of the
operating
+ system in use. The school has been working with him since
then.</li>
+ <li>Training: 60 training hours to qualify the school
staff.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Commitment Towards Free Software</h3>
+
+<p>As of 2010, we are using fully free operating systems, non in dual
+boot, as follows:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>22 PC in the pre-elementary and primary classrooms (4-12
years
+ old students)</li>
+ <li>24 PC in the high school classrooms (13-17 years old
students)</li>
+ <li>7 PC in the administration offices</li>
+ <li>3 PC in the library</li>
+ <li>1 notebook in the video classroom</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Some of the Free Libre programs we use are:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>Office automation: OpenOffice.org</li>
+ <li>Typing: Ktouch</li>
+ <li>Graphic design: GIMP</li>
+ <li>Web browsers: Firefox</li>
+ <li>Architectural design: Qcad</li>
+ <li>Graphical design: Scribus</li>
+ <li>Video: Open Shot Video</li>
+ <li>3D animation: Blender</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Results</h3>
+
+<p>We found the migration experience quite positive and we decided to
+adopt a Free Software environment for all work stations. In October 2009
+the school sponsored the Software Freedom Day in the city of San MartÃn
+de los Andes.</p>
+
+<p>Although it required dedication and perseverance, the process was
+pleasant. Now we disseminate what we've learned in order to help other
+educational communities.</p>
+
+</div> <!-- class="edu-cases" -->
+
+<p>We would like to express our appreciation for the excellent work done
+to all the people involved in the migration effort.</p>

+Computing Center (AC3)</p>
+
+<p>The following information was submitted to us by the group of volunteers
+working at the Center.</p>
+
+<div class="edu-cases">
+
+<h3>Location</h3>
+
+<p>The Center is located in the Sudharshan Layout off Bannerghatta Road
+in Bangalore, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karnataka#Education";>
+State of Karnataka</a>, India.</p>
+
+<h3>About</h3>
+
+<p>The <a href="http://slumdweller.wikispaces.com/Community+Computing+Center";>
+Ambedkar Community Computing Center</a> is not a private or public
+educational institution, it is a computing education center run by
+youths from a local group called Ambedkar Sanga that works in the slums
+of the area.</p>
+
+<p>The Center was founded in 2007 in an effort to bring the world of
+computers close to underprivileged children and youths who otherwise
+would have little opportunity to get in contact with this technology.</p>
+
+<p>The group consists of around 15 children and young boys and girls
+from 13 to 23 years old. They attend classes 3 times a week for 2 hours
+each session.</p>
+
+<h3>Motivation</h3>
+
+<p>The area in which this Center is located lacks even the most basic
+living conditions. We feel that the kids from this place should get a
+good thirst for Freedom while learning computing too, and Free Software
+serves this purpose. Free Software is a way to talk about Freedom.</p>
+
+<h3>How We Did It</h3>
+
+<a href=" /education/misc/ambedkar.jpg">
+<img src="/education/misc/ambedkar-sm.jpg" style="float: right"
+width="320" height="355" alt="Image of a student handing a copy of
+the essay 'The Future is Ours' to Richard Stallman."/></a>
+
+<p>No migration process was involved. We are Free Software advocates so
+we started directly by installing Free Software in all computers in use;
+therefore, we haven't faced any particular difficulties in setting up
+the systems. Our main difficulty regards the lack of hardware. We use
+only laptops, and we need as many as we can get. We rely on donations
+for our work.</p>
+
+<h3>Commitment Towards Free Software</h3>
+
+<p>We have five work stations, all of which are laptops and all of them
+run fully free operating systems.</p>
+
+<p>All of the programs we use are Free Libre software. For example, we
+use LibreOffice for spreadsheets and for general document writing, and
+GIMP for graphics.</p>
+
+<h3>Results</h3>
+
+<p>Browsing the web using Free Software helps these young boys and girls
+to have access to the external world in safety and confidence. Free
+Libre graphic programs such as GIMP allow them to express their
+creativity freely and easily.</p>
+
+<p>One of the underprivileged kids who attends classes at the Center
+has achieved a high level of skill in the use of GIMP. His works have
+been presented and sold at a local Free Software conference. The picture
+above shows him handing in to Richard Stallman a copy of an essay
+titled "The Future is Ours", which was produced at the Center. More
+<a href="http://www.fsmk.org/node/14#";>pictures</a> of Richard
+Stallman's visit to the Center.</p>
+
+<p>Some of the kids who attend our classes also take computing courses
+at school. They report that the skills they learn at the Center are of
+invaluable help for them to follow and pass those courses
+successfully.</p>
+
+</div> <!-- class="edu-cases" -->
+
+<p>We are informed that the outstanding effort of Free Software
+volunteers is expanding in these deprived areas of the city, with
+remarkable results. If you would like to contribute or donate laptops to
+this group, please contact us at

+
+<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 <a href="http://vhssirimpanam.org/";>Vocational
+Higher Secondary School Irimpanam</a> 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>

+
+<p>Students at a Free Software event organized by SSK VHSS Irimpanam.</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/project/drgeo/";>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/project/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 Towards 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/project/gimp/";>GIMP</a>,
+<a href= "http://directory.fsf.org/project/TuxPaint/";>TuxPaint</a>,
+<a href="http://directory.fsf.org/project/audacity/";>Audacity</a>,
+<a href="http://directory.fsf.org/project/gperiodic/";>GPeriodic</a> and
+<a href="http://directory.fsf.org/project/openoffice/";>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>

+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="http://directory.fsf.org/project/TuxPaint/";>TuxPaint</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.</p>
+
+<p>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.</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>

+FAQ</p>
+
+<p>Many Free Software advocates encounter difficulties when talking to
+the administrators of educational institutions about the advantages of
+using and teaching Free Software. Often school administrators have never
+heard of Free Software or have heard only about Open Source, so they
+raise many doubts. Here we put together some of the most common
+questions and the best possible answers to eliminate uncertainties.</p>
+
+<dl>
+ <dt>As a teacher, I've been trying hard to explain to the
+ school's administrators the advantages that Open Source
software can
+ bring to our school, but they don't seem to be
interested.</dt>
+
+ <dd>
+ <p>Open Source refers only to the technical
advantages of software.
+ Schools may not be interested in that aspect
since most probably
+ technical requirements are already satisfied by
the proprietary
+ software in use. You need to talk to them in
terms of Free Libre
+ Software, not Open Source, so that you can explain to them
the
+ philosophical and ethical reasons why educational
institutions
+ should reject proprietary software.</p>
+ <p>See the <a
href="/education/edu-why.html">Reasons
+ Why</a> educational institutions should use and
teach
+ exclusively Free Software.</p>
+ </dd>
+
+ <dt>I would love to see all schools migrate to Free
Software, but I
+ think it's hopeless. Proprietary software companies
have too much
+ power, even over schools. The situation is
discouraging.</dt>
+
+ <dd>
+ <p>While it is true that proprietary software
corporations have
+ managed to impose their products on society by
using schools as
+ propaganda agents, it is also true that many
schools around the
+ world have adopted Free Software with excellent
results. See our
+ <a href="/education/edu-cases.html">Case
Studies</a> section
+ for some examples.</p>
+
+ <p>When we started the GNU Project back in
1983, the situation was
+ very discouraging for us too. We started from
zero, and today
+ millions of people around the world use Free
Libre Software.</p>
+ </dd>
+
+ <dt>I am the head of a technical instititue and I would
like to teach
+ our students the use and administration of a Free Libre
platform, but
+ I have to comply with the curriculum established by the
Ministry of
+ Education, which requires the teaching of proprietary
platforms and
+ programs.</dt>
+
+ <dd>
+ <p>We must not forget that schools have a great
influence on
+ society, so making our students aware of the
advantages of Free
+ Software is a way of putting pressure on
decision makers. You can
+ start by telling your students about Free Software and its ethical
+ values, as they might never have heard of it. With your endorsement
+ and support, this may lead to the formation of a Free Software Group
+ in your school. Then the group can make its voice heard by writing
+ letters to the Ministry, holding events to promote Free Software,
+ and other similar activities.</p>
+
+ <p>When computer users will start demanding
their rights,
+ Governments will have to issue their laws accordingly. That is why
+ political and social awareness are fundamental aspects which cannot
+ be left aside when talking about Free Software.</p>

+Education Projects</p>
+
+<p>There are several groups and organizations around the world who
+follow the GNU Philosophy and are working on projects aimed at bringing
+Free Software to the education field. A few of them are listed below. If
+your project supports only Free Software and it is not listed here,
+please contact us at <a href="mailto:address@hidden";>

+ FSFE Education Project</a></dt>
+
+ <dd>"FSFE's Education Team exists to raise awareness and bring the
+ benefits of Free Software to all groups involved in education. It aims
+ for a legal framework that prohibits discrimination against Free
+ Software and its users."</dd>
+
+ <dt><a href="http://guri.hipatia.net/";>GURI</a></dt>
+
+ <dd>Guri is a group which was born inside an Italian
High School as
+ the result of a program carried out by GO Spatial to
raise awareness
+ about the role of Free Software in the education field.
Guri opposes
+ the growing practice of treating knowledge as if it
were a tangible
+ object subject to ownership. It fights to change the
mainstream
+ cultural framework in Italy which prevents the exercise
of some of
+ the most important human rights by posing dangerous
threats to our
+ freedom such as software patents, unfair copyright
laws, and the
+ adoption of proprietary, subjugating software.
+
+ <p>The goals of the Guri project are to convert the educational
+ system so that it is based exclusively on Free Software and to extend
+ the freedoms it grants to every field of knowledge. Guri believes in
+ the power of education to shape a better society by teaching students
+ the values of sharing and cooperation. It advocates and works towards
+ a non-pyramidal system to share knowledge as a fundamental good for
+ humanity, a system in which everyone can participate actively and
+ access knowledge without restrictions.</p>
+
+ <p>To achieve its goals, the group takes action mainly in High School
+ and University environments, organizing workshops and courses to
+ promote awareness about the ethical principles of Free Software.</p>
+ </dd>
+
+ <dt><a href="http://hipatia.net/";>Hipatia</a></dt>
+
+ <dd>Hipatia is an international NGO (non-governmental organization)
+ that upholds the right of all human beings to access, use, create,
+ modify and distribute knowledge. It is formed by people from all
+ around the world who advocate the ideals of the Free Software
+ movement and work towards putting those principles into practice.
+ Hipatia emphasizes the importance of using Free Software in education;
+ to that end, its members often conduct workshops in educational
+ institutions, specially in primary and secondary level schools.
+
+ <p>The name of the group refers to the Greek philosopher
+ <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypatia";>Hypatia.</a></p>

+
+
+ <dt><a href="https://www.itschool.gov.in";>address@hidden</a></dt>
+
+ <dd>address@hidden is a project of the government of Kerala, India,
+ started in 2001 to introduce Information Communication Technologies
+ into the State's schools. As part of the project, a customized
+ GNU/Linux operating system was developed, which is now being used in
+ more than 2,600 schools in the State. Training in the use of Free
+ Software was imparted to thousands of teachers, school coordinators
+ and students.</dd>
+
+ <dt><a href="http://www.ofset.org";>OFSET</a></dt>
+
+ <dd>OFSET promotes the development and enhancement of Free
+ Software for the educational system and the classroom. It was born in
+ France but its members collaborate and work together towards common
+ goals from all over the world by using the internet as a means of
+ communication. Open and frank collaboration between teachers,
+ software developers, translators and authors has always been the key
+ to the success of OFSET's activities.
+
+ <p>One important achievement of the OFSET group is
+ <a href="http://community.ofset.org/index.php/DrGeo";>Dr. Geo</a>, a
+ program widely used for teaching geometry. OFSET has also developed
+ <a href="http://community.ofset.org/index.php/Freeduc-USB";>
+ Freeduc-USB</a>, a bootable USB stick that contains useful
+ applications for the classroom.</p>
+ </dd>
+
+ <dt><a href="http://www.sugarlabs.org/";>Sugar Labs</a></dt>
+
+ <dd>Sugar Labs is a project that provides the
+ <a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/What_is_Sugar";>Sugar learning
+ platform</a>, an interface specially designed to facilitate the use
+ of computers by children, with a special focus on its use in
+ educational environments.</dd>

+<h3><a href="/education/edu-software.html">Educational Free Software</a></h3>
+
+<p>In our <a href="/education/edu-software.html">Educational
+Free Software</a> section we present some examples of how free programs
+are being used by educational institutions around the world and how they
+are putting into practice the four freedoms that Free Software grants to
+all users.</p>
+
+<h3>Other Learning Resources</h3>
+
+<p>Free learning resources, like Free Software, is a matter of freedom,
+not price. It's about bringing the principles of Free Software to
+general knowledge and educational materials. Knowledge should be usable
+and accessible to all without restrictions and should not be treated as
+property. It is not an article of consumer goods that decays over time or
wears out with use like a pair of shoes. Knowledge is a naturally abundant
resource that improves with usage: the more it is used and passed around, the
more it grows for the benefit of all. The introduction of measures designed to
favour the ownership of knowledge, tailored to prevent people from accessing,
using or
+sharing knowledge, is a conspiracy to inhibit human progress.</p>
+
+<p>These principles on the freedom of knowledge have always been in the
+spirit of the GNU Project. In 1999 it formally introduced the concept
+of a <a href="/encyclopedia/free-encyclopedia.html">
+Free Universal Encyclopedia and Learning Resource</a>, which was
+fulfilled by the Wikipedia project.</p>
+
+<p>In these pages we want to list learning resources and projects that
+follow the principles of the GNU Project. Some of them are educational
+institutions who offer courses on the philosophical and technical
+aspects of Free Software.</p>
+
+<dl>
+
+<dt><a href=" http://www.wikipedia.org";>Wikipedia</a></dt>
+
+<dd>Written in collaboration by thousands of volunteers from all over
+the world, Wikipedia is nowadays the best example of knowledge made available
to and usable by anyone without restrictions. Wikipedia readers are allowed to
copy, use, and adapt the articles, provided that the source is mentioned and
that eventual derivative works are released under the same terms (see <a href=
"http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/copyleft.html";>Copyleft).</a></dd>
+
+<dt><a href= "http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page";>Project
+Gutenberg</a></dt>
+
+<dd>This project offers general knowledge books that are free as in freedom.
It publishes plain text digital versions of public-domain works. If you are
looking for a copy of a classic book, your search should start here.
+
+<p>They have a very clear explanation about the
+<a href= "http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Gutenberg:No_Cost_or_Freedom%3F";>
+difference between free as in price and free as in freedom</a> related to
printed material.</p>

+<dd>We mantain a list of <a href= "/doc/other-free-books.html">free books</a>

published by the
+<a href= "http://shop.fsf.org/category/books/";>Free Software
+Foundation</a> are free as in freedom.</dd>
+
+<dt><a href="http://ftacademy.org/";>Free Technology Academy</a></dt>
+
+<dd>"The Free Technology Academy (FTA) is a joint initiative from
+several educational institutions in various countries. It aims to
+contribute to a society that permits all users to study, participate and
+build upon existing knowledge without restrictions. The FTA offers an
+online master level programme with course modules about Free
+Technologies. These courses are taught completely online in a virtual
+campus based on the Campus Project interoperability framework.
+
+<p>The FTA is a collaboration between the Free Knowledge Institute, the
+Open University of Catalonia (Spain) and the Open University of the
+Netherlands. A larger group of Associate Partners adds to the founding
+base with a network of organisations that share a common interest in
+offering courses in the area of Free Technology. The FTA is extending
+the current network of partners and collaborations continuously and
+encourages both individuals and organisations to contribute to the
+community."</p></dd>

+<p>Before addressing the subject in this section, we would like to
+remind our readers that the word "Free" in "Free Software" <strong>does
+not refer to price</strong> but to <strong>liberty</strong>. Free
+Software is software that grants you <strong>freedom</strong>, namely
+the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the
+software. To learn more, see the <a href="/philosophy/free-sw.html">
+Free Software definition</a>.</p>
+</div>
+
+<h3>What you will find in this section</h3>
+
+<p>These pages do not constitute an exhaustive listing of available
+educational free programs. Our aim is to present some examples so as to
+illustrate how educational institutions can put into practice and
+effectively apply the freedoms that Free Software grants them. For each
+program described, we will show how those freedoms were actually
+applied. </p>
+
+<p>People who wish to migrate to Free Software or are looking for a free
+libre program to accomplish a particular task, should refer to the
+<a href="http://directory.fsf.org";>Free Software Directory</a>, which
+consists of a catalog of more than 6,000 free programs that run on
+<a href="http://gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html";>free operating
+systems</a>. In particular, the
+<a href="http://directory.fsf.org/category/educ/";>Education</a> section
+of the Directory lists programs inherent to different levels of
+education, from pre-elementary school to highly specialized levels,
+including university and research.</p>
+
+<p>Some of the programs presented here, like GCompris, are part of the
+GNU Project. This means that developers of these programs agree to pay
+attention to making the program work well with the rest of the
+GNU System. A GNU program uses the latest version of the license that
+the GNU Project recommends in order to protect the users' fundamental
+freedoms. A GNU program does not recommend the use of any non-free
+program, and it does not refer the user to any non-free documentation
+for Free Software, as defined in our campaign for
+<a href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-doc.html";>
+free documentation</a>.</p>
+
+<p>The following are the examples that we present:</p>
+
+<!-- begin adding programs in alphabetical order -->
+
+<p>
+<a href="/education/edu-software-gcompris.html">GCompris</a> |
+<a href="/education/edu-software-gimp.html"></a>
+<a href="/education/edu-software-tuxpaint.html">TuxPaint</a> |
+</p>
+
+<!-- end adding programs -->
+
+<p>If you know of a Free Software program that is being used by an
+educational institution for specific purposes, or has been modified or
+otherwise adapted by its users to meet their own educational needs,
+please let us know by sending an email to
+<a href="mailto:address@hidden";><address@hidden></a>.</p>

+<a href="/education/education.html">Education</a> → The Education Team</p>
+
+<p>The Education Team was initially created to carry out the task of
+building a section within the gnu.org website to specifically address
+the importance of using Free Software in the education field. We believe
+that the achievements of the <a href=" /gnu/the-gnu-project.html">GNU
+Project</a> must be applied to all areas of education if they are to
+have an effective positive influence on society as a whole.</p>
+
+<p>The Team provides an answer to the need for a comprehensive
+approach to the adoption of <a href=" /philosophy/free-sw.html">
+Free Software</a> by educational institutions. Along with technical
+support and availability of adequate free educational software, an
+improved understanding of the fundamentals of the
+<a href="/philosophy/philosophy.html">GNU philosophy</a> will
+significantly aid the decisional process at times when schools and
+universities are considering the possibility of installing or migrating
+to Free Software. For this reason, we aim at emphasizing the importance
+of the ethical principles of Free Software since they are in line with
+the goals of educational institutions of all levels. This approach will
+ensure success and effectiveness of the migration experience over time.
+Raising awareness about these principles is the main goal of our
+Team.</p>
+
+<p>We oppose any measures undertaken by governments or educational
+institutions to impose the use of proprietary software and standards
+in the school. We stand up for the right of teachers and students to
+use Free Software at school.</p>
+
+<p>With our work, we also want to provide evidence that the freedoms
+granted by Free Software live not in the realm of abstract theories but
+can be exercised by all users, including educational institutions.
+Universities and schools can and should put those freedoms to good use,
+and our aim is to show how.</p>
+
+<p>With those objectives in mind, the Team intends to perform the
+following tasks:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>Present cases of educational institutions around the world
who
+ are successfully using and teaching Free Software.</li>
+
+ <li>Show examples of how free programs are being used by
educational
+ institutions to improve the learning and teaching processes.</li>
+
+ <li>Publish articles on the various aspects involved in the use
of
+ Free Software by educational institutions.</li>
+
+ <li>Maintain a dialogue with teachers, students and
administrators of
+ educational institutions to listen to their difficulties and provide
+ support.</li>
+
+ <li>Keep in contact with other groups around the world
committed to
+ the promotion of Free Software in education.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>If you are interested in our work and wish to help, if you have any
+questions or suggestions, or if you know of educational institutions
+around the world who follow the GNU philosophy and have successfully
+implemented Free Software, please drop us a note at
+<a href="mailto:address@hidden";><address@hidden></a>.</p>

+<p><strong>"Schools should teach their students to be citizens of a
+strong, capable, independent and free society."</strong></p>
+</div>
+
+<p>These are the main reasons why universities and schools of all
+levels should use exclusively Free Software.</p>
+
+<h3>Sharing</h3>
+
+Schools should teach the value of sharing by setting an example. Free
+software supports education by allowing the sharing of knowledge and
+tools:
+
+<ul>
+<li>Knowledge. Many young students have a talent for programing; they
+are fascinated with computers and eager to learn how their systems work.
+With proprietary software, this information is a secret so teachers have
+no way of making it available to their students. But if it is Free
+Software, the teacher can explain the basic subject and then hand out
+the source code for the student to read and learn.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Tools. Teachers can hand out to students copies of the programs they
+use in the classroom so that they can use them at home. With Free
+Software, coying is not only authorized, it is encouraged.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Social Responsibility</h3>
+
+Computing has become an essential part of everyday life. Digital
+technology is transforming society very quickly, and schools have an
+influence on the future of society. Their mission is to get students
+ready to participate in a free digital society by teaching them the
+skills to make it easy for them to take control of their own lives.
+Software should not be under the power of a software developer who
+unilaterally makes decisions that nobody else can change. Educational
+institutions should not allow proprietary software companies to impose
+their power on the rest of society and its future.
+
+
+<h3>Independence</h3>
+
+Schools have an ethical responsibility to teach strength, not dependency
+on a single product or a specific powerful company. Furthermore, by
+choosing to use Free Software, the school itself gains independence from
+any commercial interests and it avoids vendor lock-in.
+
+<ul>
+<li>Proprietary software companies use schools and universities as a
+springboard to reach users and thus impose their software on society as
+a whole. They offer discounts, or even gratis copies of their
+proprietary programs to educational institutions; afterwards it is not
+gratis, either for them or their employers. Essentially, what these
+companies are doing is they are recruiting schools and universities
+into agents to lead people into permanent lifelong dependency.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Free software licenses do not expire, which means that once Free
+Software is adopted, institutions remain independent from the vendor.
+Moreover, Free Software licenses grant users the rights not only to
+use the software as they wish, to copy it and distribute it, but also
+to modify it in order to meet their own needs. Therefore, if
+institutions eventually wish to implement a particular function in a
+piece of software, they can engage the services of any developer to
+accomplish the task, independently from the original vendor.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Learning</h3>
+
+When deciding where they will study, more and more students are
+considering whether a university teaches computer science and software
+development using Free Software. Free software means that students are
+free to study how the programs work and to learn how to adapt them for
+their own needs. Learning about Free Software also helps in studying
+software development ethics and professional practice.
+
+<h3>Saving</h3>
+
+This is an obvious advantage that will appeal immediately to many school
+administrators, but it is a marginal benefit. The main point of this
+aspect is that by being authorized to distribute copies of the programs
+at little or no cost, schools can actually aid families facing financial
+issues, thus promoting fairness and equal opportunities of learning
+among students.
+
+<h3>Quality</h3>
+
+Stable, secure and easily installed Free Software solutions are
+available for education already. In any case, excellence of performance
+is a secondary benefit; the ultimate goal is freedom for computer users.
