I would rather they were teaching general techniques rather than the use of a specific tool, but if they have to, I'm glad the tool is open source rather than proprietary.

@JackGreenEarth @kde The more kids and adults can learn and use open source apps, the better. KDE should be teaching apps like krita, rkward, digikam to kids, so they can use them for their school works.

Agreed: teach skills (i.e. office productivity, computer assisted design, etc.) not apps; that said... Know what? I'll take it.

  1. This is not NCERT, so most probably just a few schools using it.
  2. Good to see Krita instead of Adobe stuff, though, at the same time, the same are giving MS Office (most probably due to higher industry demand- they are Pvt.)
  3. Still a long shot from what I had: Flash and MS Access in HS.
