<p id="introduction">
|
||||
We actively promote the use of Free Software in schools and universities as
|
||||
it encourages schooling of understanding over product training and upholds
|
||||
the scientific principle.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
We have set up an Education Task Force to focus on these efforts. It acts as
|
||||
a hub and works on monitoring the European situation. We participate in Free
|
||||
Software events and assist other initiatives in making the change possible.

<h3>General</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The team currently develops a guide how to successfully deploy Free Software
|
||||
in schools and universities. Amongst other arguments here are four of the key
|
||||
benefits:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The Free Software Foundation Europe actively promotes the
|
||||
use of Free Software in schools and universities. Free Software
|
||||
is pedagogically and technologically superior to proprietary
|
||||
systems. But more importantly, its basic spirit involving freedom and
|
||||
cooperation is the same spirit of education in a democratic environment.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
We have a more <a href="argumentation.html">detailed argumentation</a>
|
||||
which sums up why we think that Free Software
|
||||
is the kind of software which should be used in education.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<li>Sharing: Using free software allows schools to teach children to share
|
||||
and cooperate.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<a name="associations"></a>
|
||||
<h3>Associations</h3>
|
||||
<li>Learning to program: The possibility/freedom to tinker motivates children
|
||||
to learn more.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Easy to administer: Free Software is stable, secure and reliable. It
|
||||
offers unrestricted access to the source code, thus allowing to modify or
|
||||
adapt it to the schools needs.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Please check out the
|
||||
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/education/">pages on education</a>
|
||||
of the GNU Project.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<li>Licenses: With Free Software, teachers can give a copy to each student.
|
||||
There is no risk to mislead any child to use an illegal copy.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
There are already some organisations which support and advocate the
|
||||
use of Free Software in education:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="http://www.ofset.org/">Organisation for Free Software
|
||||
in Education and Teaching</a> (OFSET) promotes the development of free
|
||||
software for the educational system and teaching. OFSET is an associated
|
||||
organisation of the FSFE.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/osie">Open Source in Education</a>
|
||||
Project (OSiE) supports and advocates the use of GNU/Linux systems in the UK.<br/>
|
||||
Please note that OSiE uses the term "Open Source" which we avoid for
|
||||
<a href="/documents/whyfs.en.html">various reasons</a>.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="http://fsub.schule.de/">Freie Software und Bildung e.V.</a>
|
||||
(FSuB e.V., Association for Free Software and Education) promotes the use of GNU/Linux
|
||||
systems in German schools.<br/>
|
||||
Please note that the FSuB e.V. accepts the use of proprietary software on top of
|
||||
free platforms, a position with which we strongly disagree.

|
||||
The <a href="http://www.laka.lv/">Latvian Open Source Association</a> (LAKA) also helps
|
||||
schools and promotes the use of GNU/Linux in schools.<br/>

Please note that LAKA uses the term "Open Source" which we avoid for

Free Upgrade Southtyrol's Schools</a> (FUSS) is not an association,
|

but a project funded by the European Social Fund which has upgraded
|
||||
the computer systems of all the italian schools in the Autonomous
|
||||
Province of Bolzano/Bozen, removing all the software with a
|
||||
proprietary license used in the school activity with the FUSS
|
||||
GNU/Linux Soledad distribution. The project has developed the software
|
||||
solution and released it under a free software license.
