In the US, Charlie Reisinger has made some progress in the Penn Manor School District. I think there s some non free software in the mix but his program is a step in the right direction. Here are some notes and links I have kept about it. Best of luck, wherever you are.
Set up a one GNU/Laptop per child program at Penn Manor High School http://opensource.com/education/14/9/open-source-high-school https://joindiaspora.com/posts/4709855 Program might be thwarted by CIPA the Children’s Online Protection Act which requires censorship software on every student laptop. http://www.pennmanor.net/techblog/?p=1847 This page has policy documents that conform with that nasty law. The titles look just like my daughter's in Alabama. http://www.pennmanor.net/techblog/?page_id=1561 Actually CIPA Children's Internet Protection Act not COPA. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children%27s_Internet_Protection_Act Open Source Evangelist, Lancaster PA http://www.pennmanor.net/techblog/ A K12 EdTech veteran, Charlie is the IT Director for Penn Manor School District in beautiful Lancaster County Pennsylvania.
