For the UK its GCSE and A-Level Geography students are the ones to look at I guess.
Though I know we might not be able to use information from <11yr old kids it still does not mean we can not help provide education information to them. I know its not what OSM is about but educating the youth in the wonder of maps should be a nice starting ground. Because OSM are free it means teachers can freely print copies and let the student learn about orienteering even if its only on school grounds. You never know the teacher may put the information for the school into OSM so that they could use it themselves. On the wiki it would be useful to put all the information under Teaching Resources and go from there. *Sorry I keep doing this (forgetting to cc the list)* What John was commentating on. Make a teaching pack that would give them ideas on how they can teach students about map making. One idea is that they can map the school. Using walking maps they can upload the hand drawn map and trace that. If suitable permission could be found they could map their neighbourhood or street. When I was at school I loved maps as we have a collection of os maps at home. After taking geography as a gcse subject I was disappointed we never did much with maps. None of the students could read an os map. There are different target groups, primary school, secondary, college/uni so we need targeted plans for each. If we get colleges involved then we may breed new osm editors.
