NOVL | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- The Dutch ministries of Economic Affairs (EZ) and Education, Culture &
Science (OCW) find it undesirable that students in the secondary
vocational education system (MBO) are only being taught to use closed
software systems from a few companies, according to EZ secretary Frank
Heemskerk. The Dutch Green party Groen Links has shown concern that
Microsoft, Oracle and Cisco cooperate with the MBO schools. Current ICT
courses within the MBO schools have now started to pay attention to
open source material. Heemskerk writes that they are negotiating with
Novell on free support for the open source operating system Linux
within the MBO schools.
