Hi

I haven't seen the new education flyer yet, as I think it is still in
development,  I have a few possible suggestions.

1.  The new curriculum in the UK  (http://torbaytechjam.org.uk/curriculu
m/
) has a focus partly on using computers responsibly,  so you could argue
that using free software comes under this, as you are not taking the
irresponsible step of using pirated software for example.

There is also a focus on safety so again by using free software you can
examine the software, and make improvements if there are problems,  the
software is transparent in what it is doing and how it works.

Young rewired state and google summer of code actually encourage
participants to release under free licenses, as this encourages
collaboration.

- From an wider perspective too,   taking part in free software projects
has benefits for work experience,  collaboration and working across
borders with people being more concerned with what you contribute than
your age, gender, orientation and ethnic background.  So there is a lot
of equality.

Granted here people still need to be careful as to what information they
share,  and take the same care about using forums as any where else,


Hope this helps

Paul
