[Gllug] open source centric ICT in Schools from Sept 2012 ?

[Karanbir Singh]

Just caught this : http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-16493929

"The current programme of information and communications technology
(ICT) study in England's schools will be scrapped from September, the
education secretary will announce later.

It will be replaced by an "open source" curriculum in computer science
and programming designed with the help of universities and industry."

Well worth skimming through the comments, some very bizarre ones in
there. Including, unfortunately, a very distinct lack of understand
about what open source is. What are the chances that the people involved
in setting up the new curriculum suffer the same mindset ?
