<h1>Free Software in Education</h1>
<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>
Already during its first general assembly, FSFE identified <a
href="http://fsfe.org/about/reports/es-2003">education as
one of the most important areas for activity</a> so young people and
students would have the chance of getting in touch with knowledge instead
of mere product schooling. Therefore the FSFE started a <a href="/activities/education/eduteam.en.html">Free Software in
Education working group</a> to focus on these efforts. Today, 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.
</p>
<p>
Amongst other arguments for Free Software, here are four of the key benefits for education:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Sharing:</strong> Using free software allows schools to
teach children to share and cooperate.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Learning to program:</strong> The possibility/freedom to
tinker motivates children to learn more.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Easy to administer:</strong> 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>
<li>
<strong>Licences:</strong> 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>
</ul>
