MPs criticise government roadblocks to Open Source adoption in schools
,----[ Quote ]
| UK Members of Parliament have identified Department of Education and
| Skills (DfES) and Becta policies as favouring proprietary software
| vendors thereby blocking the adoption of Open Source software by schools
| and colleges. An Early Day Motion tabled by Liberal Democrat MP John
| Pugh, has called for a fair approach to ICT procurement in the
| education sector.

Some folks at the Manchester Linux Users Group have taken action to the
Parliament a couple of days ago (related to the above, according to the
mailing list). Open Source (and Linux) will come to schools sooner or later.
It already prevails in some local schools and it proves to be rather
successful.
