Jean, if it helps there are a bunch of them outside of Australia on the
precedent page. From memory, Montana and Ohio within the U.S., the One
Laptop Per Child program, Brazil, South Africa. Many others. I don't have
time to root them out right now and assemble a list of links, but you can
locate at least most of them quickly by doing page search first for "educa"
and then for "school." I'd also check out the Edubuntu site to see if they
have a list of adoption decisions, since that distribution includes OOo.  <
http://www.edubuntu.org/>. I very quickly found this partial list. <
https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuInstallations> (which should also be added
to the precedent page).

That is if education adoption decisions outside of Australia are helpful.
