Software In Schools

EDM number 179 in 2006-07, proposed by John Pugh on 21/11/2006.

That this House congratulates the Open University and other schools, colleges and universities for utilising free and open source software to deliver cost-effective educational benefit not just for their own institutions but also the wider community; and expresses concern that Becta and the Department for Education and Skills, through the use of outdated purchasing frameworks, are effectively denying schools the option of benefiting from both free and open source software and the value and experience small and medium ICT companies could bring to the schools market.

This motion has been signed by a total of 131 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
